Albion have signed goalkeeper Max O’Leary on a short-term contract until the end of the season.
The 29-year-old stopper joins from Bristol City, where he made more than 150 Sky Bet Championship appearances.
His performances during the 2024/25 campaign earned him an international call-up to the Republic of Ireland squad and he recorded a clean sheet on debut in a 0-0 draw against Luxembourg.
The Bath-born No.1 rose through the ranks of the Robins’ academy, making his first City appearance as a substitute against the Baggies in a 2016 FA Cup third-round tie at The Hawthorns.
President and Sporting Director Andrew Nestor said: “Max arrives with extensive Championship experience, having been ever present in goal at Bristol City the past two seasons, which included reaching the play-offs last year.
“We are pleased to have him join us here at The Albion and enhance the competition for places amongst our goalkeepers.”
O’Leary added: “I’m really happy to be here. It was time for something new and a fresh challenge.
"When I was told about the interest, it was a move I was keen on making. I know the position of the club is difficult at the moment in terms of the table, but hopefully I can come in and help."
