West Bromwich Albion have confirmed the signing of Ipswich Town defender Gareth McAuley.  The Northern Ireland international will join the Hawthorns this summer on a free transfer after turning down an offer to stay at Portman Road.  The 31 year old is believed to have attracted interest from several other clubs, choosing to make the move to the Premiership with West Brom.

Baggies boss Roy Hodgson made his interest in McAuley public after yesterday's 3-3 draw at Newcastle.  The Albion gaffer believes the experienced defender will provide vital strength at the back for his side, as they prepare for their second season in the top flight.
