WEST Bromwich Albion have confirmed a deal to sign George Campbell from Major League Soccer side CF Montreal.
Campbell, 24, who can play at right-back and centre-half, has signed a four-year contract at The Hawthorns after joining for an undisclosed fee.
He has made 16 appearances during the current MLS season and earned his maiden USA national team cap in January.
Sporting Director Andrew Nestor said: “We’re happy to welcome George to the club.
“At a relatively young age, George arrives with significant first-team experience.
“His progressive play, positional versatility and physicality adds to our defensive unit, further strengthening our options.
“He’s been in season since February and can now join our pre-season at a critical time as we ramp up to our home opener.”
Campbell admitted he wanted to make a move across the pond.
He said: “I’m really excited to be here. I honestly can’t wait to put on the boots and start training.
“When the chance to sign came, I wanted to take it and experience football in Europe. I’m ready to go.
“The biggest thing for me is to stay focused on the task ahead, which is to help the team win. Whatever challenges come on the journey, I’ll be ready.”
