Birmingham have agreed a deal to sign former Liverpool and Rangers defender Gregory Vignal from French club Lens. Providing Vignal comes through a medical successfully, he will join Alex McLeish's squad on a one-year contract. The 28-year-old left-back played for McLeish at Rangers and has pleased the Blues manager with his showing during a trial this summer. McLeish told the club's website: 'He's a good athlete, he's mobile and he's strong and aggressive. 'I think he stirred the fans up and British fans appreciate that kind of approach. 'He played a season with me at Rangers when we won the league and it was a very successful campaign for him then, so I know what Greg can bring us.
