Northern Ireland midfielder Isaac Price has joined EFL Championship side West Bromwich Albion.
The 21-year-old has penned a four-and-a-half-year contract with West Brom after signing from Belgian club Standard Liege for an undisclosed fee.
Price began his career with Everton, where he played at youth and Under-21 level as well as making two substitute appearances in the Premier League, before moving to Belgium in 2023.
The midfielder told the Albion website: “I am over the moon to be here and I’m really excited to get started.
"It's a great opportunity for me to show the manager (Tony Mowbray) what I can do."
"I'd say I'm a box-to-box midfielder. I like to get involved in the attacking play but scoring more goals is an area I'd like to improve. I like defending as well. I love getting back and making tackles,” he added.

This season the midfielder played 22 games for Standard Liege in the Jupiler Pro League, Belgium’s top flight, adding to 28 across all competitions last term.
Albion sporting director Andrew Nestor said: "Isaac is a bright young player whose dynamic midfield play continues our commitment to develop a more youthful, attack-minded style.
“He is a player we rate highly, having been watching him as far back as last summer.
"At just 21 Isaac already has good top level experience and I'm pleased we have secured his services permanently on a long-term contract."

Welcome to the Albion, Isaac. 🔵⚪️
Back in October, in the matchday programme for the UEFA Nations League game against Bulgaria in which he scored a hat-trick, Price revealed he is enjoying being a regular in Michael O’Neill’s squad.
He said: “I do feel a big part of it now. We’ve got a lot of good young players and they are getting better. We’ve all played together for quite a few years at underage level, so now it’s just like what we used to do back then.
“We have good relationships; we’re good mates off the pitch, too, and that always helps on the pitch.
“I love coming away with Northern Ireland. It feels like a club environment and I know all the lads coming away.”
Price has won 18 senior international caps to date, scoring six goals, including the hat-trick against the Bulgarians.
He made his debut for Northern Ireland in March 2023 in a UEFA Euro 2024 qualifier against San Marino.
