Transfer Update: Jonny Evans Joins West Brom

West Brom have announced the signing of defender Jonny Evans from Manchester United for an undisclosed fee.

The Northern Ireland international has agreed a four-year contract at the Hawthorns after falling out of favour with manager Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford.

Evans had undergone a medical at the Baggies' training ground on Friday and now becomes their fifth new recruit of the summer.

"I hope to push the Albion up the League," the centre-back told his new club's official website.

"It's a new, fresh challenge for me, one I'm looking forward to. I know a few of the lads already and I spoke to a couple, who highly recommended the club."

Evans's United career comes to an end just shy of making 200 appearances for the club in all competitions, his 18 games last season taking him to a total of 198.
