Soccer-West Brom sign Rosenberg on three-year deal

Aug 7 (Reuters) - Sweden international Markus Rosenberg has

signed a three-year deal with West Bromwich Albion, the Premier

League club said on Tuesday.

The 29-year-old striker, who represented his country at Euro

2012, was out of contract after leaving Bundesliga club Werder

Bremen in May and his move remains subject to international

clearance.

Baggies head coach Steve Clarke was delighted with the

club's fourth summer signing after Ben Foster, Yassine El

Ghannasy and Claudio Yacob.

"He is an experienced striker who has scored goals in three

of Europe's top leagues, as well as in the top European

competitions, and is determined to prove himself in the Barclays

Premier League," Clarke said.

"Markus will really increase competition for places in the

forward areas and hopefully spur on the strikers we already have

here."

In total, Rosenberg has scored 83 goals in 186 league

matches in Sweden, Holland, Spain and Germany, as well as six

goals in 30 appearances for the national side.
