West Bromwich Albion have completed the signing of former Ipswich Town defender Gareth McAuley.
McAuley will meet his new team-mates for the first time when he reports for pre-season training in early July and head coach Roy Hodgson is delighted to have strengthened his defensive options.
"I would like to welcome Gareth to the club and I am very pleased we have added a player of his quality and experience to our team," Hodgson told the WBA website.
"We believe it is the right moment for Gareth to embark on a Barclays Premier League career after doing so well for so long in the Championship and for his national team.
"We are also very happy that amid lots of competition for his services, we have managed to persuade him to join us."
