Phillips finalises switch to West Brom

West Bromwich Albion have announced the signing of Matt Phillips from Queens Park Rangers on a four-year contract.

The two clubs recently agreed a reported £5.5m fee, one year after the Baggies registered an interest in the attacker.

"We're really pleased to have Matty on board," head coach Tony Pulis told the club's official website. "This is a great chance for him to show everyone he belongs in the top-flight of English football."

Technical director Nick Hammond added: "I think it's fair to say Matt has been on the radar for a period of time and we're very pleased to have finally got his signature.

"He's a great acquisition because he adds to the versatility within the group. He gives us both wide positions and is also able to play as a central striker. We're absolutely delighted to welcome Matt to the club."

Phillips will now join his new teammates in a fitness camp in Austria.
