West Bromwich Albion have completed the permanent signing of on-loan striker Ishmael Miller.

The 20-year-old originally joined the Baggies from Manchester City in August and has scored ten times in 24 appearances.

Miller has now put pen to paper on a three-and-a-half-year contract after the two clubs agreed an undisclosed fee.

"I'm delighted Ishmael is now our player," manager Tony Mowbray told the club's official website.

"He pretty much came here as an unknown quantity at this level.

"I saw him play a few times for Manchester City reserves when he was played out on the left wing.

"But we saw his strength, size, power and pace and thought we could utilise it.

"He's grown in stature and confidence since joining us. He's done exceptionally well."

Meanwhile, the Baggies have also completed the signing of goalkeeper Michal Danek on loan for the rest of the season following a successful trial.
