Tony Pulis pens new deal with West Brom

Tony Pulis has signed a new one-year contract extension with West Brom.

The 58-year-old has committed his future to The Hawthorns until 2018 as his previous deal was due to expire in the summer.

Pulis has been at the club since January 2015 and Albion's new Chinese owners, led by businessman Guochuan Lai, have kept faith in the former Stoke manager.

Pulis, who recently celebrated the milestone of 1,000 games as a first team manager, told West Brom's club website: "This is a time of great change at Albion and when that happens you need continuity.

"As I have said from the outset, I want to build things here and play my part in improving the club. You cannot do these things overnight but I do believe, step by step, we are making advances.

"I think the bulk of our fans understand the process we embarked upon under the shadow of relegation less than two years ago.

"We have a club which can aspire to be an established top 10 member of the football league everyone in the world wants to be part of. I want to continue to front that challenge."
