Barnett completes West Brom move

Barnett made 43 appearances for Luton last season

West Brom have completed the signing of Luton defender Leon Barnett for an initial fee of £2.5m.

The 21-year-old, who was Luton's player of the year last season, follows in the footsteps of Curtis Davies who joined West Brom from Luton two years ago.

"We've brought in potential. There are parts of his game he needs to develop," said Albion boss Tony Mowbray.

"We're looking forward to helping him improve and hopefully seeing him play his part in the club's future success."

His transfer fee could rise by a further £250,000 depending on appearances, plus another £250,000 should he help the Baggies return to the Premiership.
