West Brom confirm Snodgrass signing

 

West Brom have announced the capture of Robert Snodgrass for an undisclosed fee. 

 

The Scot had found playing time hard to come by under David Moyes at West Ham, making just three league appearances, all from the bench, this season. 

 

Snodgrass has today penned an 18-month deal with the Baggies, but he won't be available for the FA Cup trip to Blackpool. 

 

"Albion have secured the services of Robert Snodgrass from West Ham United for an undisclosed fee," a statement read on the club's official website.

 

"The 33-year-old midfielder, who has scored 117 goals in 586 senior appearances, this afternoon penned an 18-month contract at The Hawthorns. 

 

"The former Scotland international arrives at Albion three years after joining the Hammers from Hull City. He has also represented Aston Villa, Norwich City, Leeds United, Stirling Albion and Livingston." 

 

 

On the capture of Snodgrass, head coach Sam Allardyce said: "I’m absolutely delighted that he has chosen to take up the challenge with us. 

 

"He’ll add Premier League experience and Premier League quality to our side. 

 

"He’s left-footed. We all look for balance. When you get the right balance in the team with left-footed players, they can really produce for you down that left side. 

 

"He tells me he’s played holding midfield, left of a three, wide left and right, so he’s pretty versatile across midfield.

 

"I’ve heard from many, many people that he is exceptional in the dressing room which is a great bonus on top of his abilities."
