West Brom have signed Scotland midfielder Darren Fletcher on a free transfer from Manchester United.
The 31-year-old has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract at The Hawthorns with a 12-month option.West Ham were also interested in signing Fletcher, but a move to Upton Park broke down last weekend.
Albion failed in deadline day moves to sign West Ham striker Carlton Cole and Norwich defender Martin Olsson, but kept Brown Ideye and Graham Dorrans.
Fletcher made 342 appearances for United but started only five times for the club after Louis van Gaal took over as manager in the summer.
The Scot, who recovered from chronic bowel disease ulcerative colitis to resume his career in December 2013, had been at Old Trafford since he was a schoolboy and helped the Red Devils win the Premier League title five times.
