West Brom have announced the signing of Tyrone Mears today with the right-back joining on a short-term, rolling contract.

The defender was a former team-mate of Darren Moore when they were at Derby and brings a lot of experience to the Hawthorns.

He might not play every game but he will bring cover and knowledge and on a short-term deal he represents a very low-risk signing.

Some West Brom fans are not too pleased with the news, though, so let's take a look at a handful of the tweets about the arrival on social media today:

Mears bring experience to the Baggies but perhaps with a career that has meandered somewhat he is not the player fans would have liked to come in.

Even so, he won't start much this season you'd have thought and will be looking to do just a solid job when called upon.

We'll soon see how he goes about doing that.
