Darren Purse's agent has revealed that Cardiff City have won the race to sign the West Brom centre-back.
The Baggies also accepted an offer for the out-of-favour 28-year-old from Southampton, but Purse has decided his future lies in Wales.
Agent Richard Cody told Sky Sports: "The deal is all done and Darren is delighted.
"I would like to put on record my thanks to Cardiff for making the whole process so painless.
"From the moment we first talked, to when Darren signed late on Wednesday, they have been thoroughly professional."
Purse only joined West Brom from Birmingham in a £750,000 move last summer, but played just 22 Premiership games for the club, the last of which was back in February.
