Derby County have landed defender Martin Albrechtsen from West Bromwich Albion on a free transfer.
The 28-year-old has joined the Rams in the Championship after deciding to reject a new contract which was on the table at the Premier League club.
Albrechtsen made 41 appearances as the Baggies secured promotion back to the top-flight last season.
"The era of Bosman means the incentives offered by clubs to out-of-contract players are often decisive in whether a player stays or leaves," Albion manager Tony Mowbray told his club's official website.
"I'd like to thank Martin for his contribution last season and wish him all the best in his new challenge.
"We will continue to push forward in our bid to find new faces to strengthen the squad for the season ahead."
Albrechtsen made over 130 appearances during four seasons at The Hawthorns.
