McClean signs new West Brom deal
Derryman agrees contract until June 2019
Ireland international James McClean has signed a new deal at West Brom that will keep him at the Hawthorns until 2019.
McClean, who has scored twice in 17 appearances for West Brom this season, joins James Morrison, Craig Gardner and Ben Foster in agreeing new deals at the Premier League club.
"James thoroughly deserves this and has worked hard to achieve it," manager Tony Pulis said.
"James's attitude and commitment to the group is first class and I'm delighted to see that approach rewarded in this way."
Pulis believes the 27-year-old, who has made 58 appearances for the Baggies, has proved a bargain since he joined the club from Wigan in June 2015 in a £1.5m deal.
"For what we've paid and what the lad's been earning, he's been a terrific signing for us," he said.
McClean not started a Premier League game since the 4-0 defeat to Manchester City on 29 October, and Pulis admits the Derryman is desperate to work his way back into the first team..
"He's been a good lad and he's not been in the team lately but his attitude in training and around the place is great," he continued.
"He's scatty, but he's a good lad with it, he's not a bad lad. He's been knocking on my door a few times."
