West Bromwich Albion complete signing of Swansea City defender Kyle Bartley

West Bromwich Albion have strengthened their squad with the signing of Swansea City defender Kyle Bartley.

The Baggies are currently preparing for life in the Championship but so far, the West Midlands outfit have kept new arrivals down to a minimum.

However, Darren Moore has now made his second signing of the summer with Bartley moving to The Hawthorns for an undisclosed fee.

The centre-back told the club's official website: "After speaking with Darren I knew this was the place I wanted to be be.

"He let me know his ideas for the season and the next few years, his ambitions for the club and he told me about the fan base and the facilities. I'm hoping to be involved quickly."

Bartley has spent the last six years at the Liberty Stadium but just 38 appearances were made for the Swans in all competitions.

However, the 27-year-old did make a combined total of 62 outings at the second tier during loan spells with both Birmingham City and Leeds United.
