Joleon Lescott: West Brom sign England defender

West Bromwich Albion have signed England defender Joleon Lescott after his contract at Premier League champions Manchester City ended.
Lescott arrives at the club as a free agent, following five years at City where he won two league titles in three years.
The 31-year-old is new manager Alan Irvine's first signing and joins on a two-year deal.
"I'm delighted we've been able to agree a deal with Joleon," said Irvine.
West Brom fended off competition from Hull City and Stoke City to sign the centre-back, who played only 10 games in Manchester City's title winning campaign last season.
Lescott has previously worked with Irvine in their days at Everton while he is also familiar with Irvine's assistant Rob Kelly from their days together at Lescott's first club, Wolves.
The Baggies added in a statement that the deal has an option of a further year.
"I know Joleon and the type of personality and character he is, in addition to knowing what he can do as a player," added Irvine.
"He's a great professional and he will add to a number of very good professionals who are already in the squad."

The Birmingham-born defender has 26 England caps but has not played for his country since March 2013.
Lescott made his senior debut for Wolves in 2000 before joining Everton in 2006.
Three years later, he signed for Manchester City in a deal worth £22m. He has made 538 career appearances and scored 39 goals.

Joleon Lescott: West Brom favourites to sign defender

BBC Radio 5 live


West Bromwich Albion are set to beat Hull and Stoke to sign England international defender Joleon Lescott.
The 31-year-old centre-back has left Manchester City after making only 10 appearances during City's Premier League title-winning campaign.
He previously worked with new West Brom head coach Alan Irvine at Everton.
Lescott is also familiar with Albion backroom staff members Rob Kelly and Keith Downing from their days together at his first club, Wolves.
Meanwhile, Hull manager Steve Bruce is keen to bolster the FA Cup finalists' squad ahead of their debut Europa League campaign.
And Stoke boss Mark Hughes would welcome the chance to again link up with the player he signed as Manchester City manager from Everton in 2009 in a £22m deal.
The Birmingham-born defender has 26 England caps but last played for his country in March 2013.
His five-year contract at Etihad Stadium expired this summer.
