30 minutes after the resignation of manager Martin O'Neill it was back to business for Villa as they decided to let the former England international join the Baggies after failing to get a regular place in the Aston Villa starting XI.
Shorey becomes Albion’s fifth signing of the summer following the arrivals of Pablo Ibanez, Steven Reid, Boaz Myhill and Gabriel Tamas and will be hoping to make his debut against Chelsea in our title match at the weekend.
Shorey, 29, was on loan at Fulham last season where he made 9 appearances and it was rumoured he would make the switch permanent until Roy Hodgson left for Anfield in the summer. West Ham were also linked with a move but it was West Brom that got their man.
