Myhill makes Baggies switch
Stopper joins to challenge Carson Wales international Boaz Myhill has joined from Hull City for an undisclosed fee. The former Aston Villa goalkeeper has signed a three-year contract, plus a year in the club’s favour. Myhill joins from Hull City after spending seven years with the Tigers. He featured heavily for City and played a major part helping them gain promotion from the third division into the Premier League. He played the majority of games last season in the Premier League and won three further international caps for Wales. Roberto Di Matteo welcomed Myhill to The Hawthorns to offer real competition to Scott Carson. “"I'm delighted to welcome Boaz to the club," he said. "He joins us at a good age and with a good pedigree, having helped Hull win promotion to the top flight and spent the last two seasons in the Barclays Premier League. "Boaz obviously knows what it takes to play at the top level and he's also a good character. "I'm sure he will fit nicely into our goalkeeping department. "We've now got two very good international keepers working under our goalkeeping coach Dean Kiely. "Competition is vital in all areas of the squad and I'm confident Scott and Boaz will drive each other on."
