McClean agrees West Brom extension

James McClean has signed a one-year contract extension that will see him remain at West Brom until 2019.

The winger's previous deal was due to expire at the end of the 2017-18 campaign, but the Republic of Ireland international has now agreed to fresh terms.

"James thoroughly deserves this and has worked hard to achieve it," Pulis told the club's official website.

"James' attitude and commitment to the group is first class and I'm delighted to see that approach rewarded in this way.

"For what we paid, he's been a terrific signing for us. He's a good lad. He's not been in the team lately but his attitude in training and around the place...he's just a great kid.

"He's scatty but that's James, he's a good lad with it."

Speaking at his pre-match media conference, he said: "We've got one or two knocks that we'll look at.

"With two games in three days we might make a few changes, just to keep people fresh for Tuesday, and if they have got knocks we won't take a chance."
