Bowyer completes Blues move

08 July 2009 10:37
Birmingham have confirmed that they have signed Lee Bowyer from West Ham on a two-year deal. Blues manager Alex McLeish was keen to tie the deal up by the time the players reported back for pre-season on Wednesday and that has proved to have been the case. The 32-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at St Andrews and was instrumental in the club securing automatic promotion from the Championship. McLeish has already strengthened considerably in his defence and strike-force, to the tune of more than £15million, and has now set his sights on improving the midfield department. Bowyer is the Blues' seventh signing of the summer.
