TAMAS joined Albion on loan until the end of the season from Auxerre in January 2010, with a view to a permanent move.
His arrival will provide head coach Roberto Di Matteo with much-needed cover in central defence following Abdoulaye Meite's departure for African Nations Cup duty.
The 6ft 2in player had just completed a second loan spell at Dinamo Bucharest before his arrival in England.
He was part of Romania's Euro 2008 squad and has also played for the likes of Galatasaray, Spartak Moscow and Celta Vigo.
Tamas had 44 international caps to his name and had scored three times for his country when he arrived at The Hawthorns.
He also made nine Under-21s appearances for Romania, scoring once.
In total, the Brasov-born defender has made 195 league appearances, scoring ten times.
