West Bromwich Albion have completed the signing of defender Liam Ridgewell from Championship side Birmingham City. Ridgewell passed his medical and has put pen to paper a two and a half year deal at the Hawthorns, with the option of a further year. The fee WBA paid for Ridgewell is unclear, but is reported to be somewhere in the £2m region.
Ridgewell’s transfer has happened too late for the defender to take part in West Brom’s midweek clash against Fulham, but he could make his debut this weekend when Roy Hodgson’s side take on Swansea City.
Ridgewell, a left back who can also play in the centre if required, joined Birmingham from Aston Villa around five years ago.
