West Brom confirm Robson-Kanu signing

West Bromwich Albion have confirmed the signing of Hal Robson-Kanu on a free transfer.

The 27-year-old has been looking for a new club all summer having been released by Reading at the end of the 2015-16 campaign.

The striker's performances for Wales during their run to the Euro 2016 semi-finals saw him linked with a number of clubs, but West Brom have won the race for his signature.

"It was an important decision for me and my family and we took our time. But it's a fantastic club and manager and I'm really happy to be here," he told the club's official website.

"I'm particularly pleased to be back in the Premier League. I am grateful for everything that Reading have done for me and I enjoyed my time there. But it's great to take this step.

"I've got no worries about my fitness. I'm a fit lad and I'll be more than confident when called upon. It's about the group, the squad being successful and I am really looking forward to playing my part."

Manager Tony Pulis added: "Everybody enjoyed watching Hal's contribution to the Welsh performances at the Euros and we're pleased to have him on board."

Robson-Kanu has signed a two-year deal with the Baggies, with the option of a further year.
