West Brom have swooped to sign promising Everton defender Galloway on season-long loan
20-year-old England youth international, who can play centre-half or left-back, will wear the number 20 shirt for the Baggies
BRENDAN GALLOWAY has completed a season-long loan to West Brom.
The versatile Everton defender is part way through a five-year deal at Goodison Park, and the move to Albion should provide him with more game time.
He started 16 games for The Toffees last season, appearing off the bench three times.
The 20-year-old, who was born in Zimbabwe, was signed back in 2014 from MK Dons, having made only 17 senior first-team appearances.
He can play centre-half or left-back, but has found opportunities limited at Everton over the last couple of seasons.
Speaking to West Brom's official , Galloway said: “I’m delighted, it’s a great club and I’m really looking forward to getting started.

“I think for me personally, it’s really important to gain more experience. Coming here is the perfect opportunity to do that."
He will wear the number 20 shirt at The Hawthorns on a deal that does not include a release clause.
Galloway will be hoping to be selected for West Brom's EFL Cup clash away at Northampton Town tomorrow (Tuesday), as well as the visit of Middlesbrough on Sunday.
He has played for England at U17, U18 and U19 level.
Galloway is only Albionn's second signing of the season, the other being Matt Phillips, snapped up from QPR.
