Romaine Sawyers has returned to West Brom from Brentford, for an undisclosed fee.<\/p>\nRomaine Sawyers has returned to West Brom from Brentford, for an undisclosed fee.<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old returns to The Hawthorns after leaving in 2013 and has signed a three-year deal, with the option of a further 12 months, after completing a medical on Friday.<\/p>\n
He had been a long-term target for Albion after impressing for Sky Bet Championship rivals Brentford over the last three years.<\/p>\n
Sawyers told West Brom\u2019s official website: \u201cIt\u2019s been a long time coming and feels like I have unfinished business.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the first team that I have always wanted to play for and I\u2019m delighted I\u2019m now going to get that chance.<\/p>\n
\u201cI left the club when I was just a boy with a lot of potential. But I am coming back as a man who has matured as a player.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt looks to me that we are assembling a strong group of players and I hope to add to that.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe aim is promotion \u2013 that\u2019s what we all want especially after just missing out last season.\u201d<\/p>\n
Celtic and Aston Villa had been interested, with the Hoops having a \u00a32million bid rejected earlier this month.<\/p>\n
New Albion boss Slaven Bilic gave the green light for the move after doing his own due diligence on the attacking midfielder.<\/p>\n
Sawyers initially left the Baggies on a free six years ago after coming through the youth ranks but did not make a senior appearance.<\/p>\n
He joined Walsall on a permanent deal after an initial loan and spent three years at the Banks\u2019s Stadium before joining Brentford on a free transfer.<\/p>\n
The St Kitts and Nevis international made 135 appearances for the Bees, scoring eight goals.<\/p>\n
West Brom had been looking to boost their attacking ranks after signing Kenneth Zohore from Cardiff having lost Jay Rodriguez to Burnley and seen Dwight Gayle\u2019s loan from Newcastle end.<\/p>\n
