West Bromwich Albion captain Darren Fletcher has claimed that new signing Matt Phillips will provide a boost to the team in the upcoming Premier League season.
Phillips completed a move to The Hawthorns from Queens Park Rangers on Wednesday after both clubs agreed a reported £5.5m fee.
"He's definitely a terrific signing for us," Fletcher told the club's official website. "I think he's a fantastic player and a great addition to the squad - a really good guy too who is going to gel within the dressing room.
"He gets his head down and gets on with things and that's the kind of character the lads will enjoy having around. I thought Matty was QPR's best player the season they got relegated.
"When they beat us at The Hawthorns, he was their best player on the day. He did everything that day - he was strong, winning headers, battling for the cause but also showing real bits of quality that we know he has, creating goals and causing us problems."
Phillips has signed a four-year contract with the Baggies.
