Bolton Wanderers have signed Paul Robinson from West Bromwich Albion.

The left-back is reunited with manager Gary Megson after swapping the Hawthorns for the Reebok.

The defender has put pen-to-paper on a season-long loan deal with a view to a permanent move.

Commenting on the club's second signing of the summer, the manager said: "He's got a great deal of Premier League experience and is the type of player Wanderers supporters will like. He has a wholehearted approach to the game, is desperate to win and will be good in the dressing room.

"I signed Robbo for West Brom from Watford a good few years ago and I know him really well. He'll bring some competition down the left and I am delighted that we've managed to get him in."

Since making his Football League debut in 1996, Robinson has since gone on to accumulate 490 first-class appearances with both Watford and West Bromwich Albion.

In 2008 he was recognised for his consistent displays in the Baggies' successful league winning season by earning a place in the PFA Championship Team of the Year, and he followed-up this achievement by playing in 35 Barclays Premier League matches last season.

Robinson, who will link up with his new team-mates in Austria this afternoon, is joined at Bolton by fellow new signing Sean Davis, who completed his transfer from Portsmouth on July 1.
