OLSSON was named Albion's vice captain by Roberto Di Matteo in August 2009.

He joined the Baggies on the penultimate day of the 2008 August transfer window in an £800,000 move from NEC Nijmegen.

The 6ft4in left-sided centre-half penned a two-year contract, plus a further year's option in the club's favour.

The fee for the former Sweden Under-20 and Under-21 international could rise by a further £360,000 in performance-related add-ons.

Olsson made his Baggies debut in a 3-2 win over West Ham at The Hawthorns in September 2008 and quickly became one of the first names on the team-sheet.

He scored three times last term, including the only goal of the game at Middlesbrough in September and the opener in April's 3-0 home win over Sunderland.

Unfortunately, Olsson was forced to sit on the sidelines for more than two months, between January and March, with tendonitis and bone bruising to his knee.

During that time his never-say-die attitude at the heart of the Baggies defence was sorely missed.

After moving to Holland from home-town club Landskrona in 2005, Olsson was an Eredivisie regular for Nijmegen for three years, helping them finish tenth in his first two seasons and eighth in 2007/08.

Olsson clocked up 20 Under-21 caps for his country.
