Former Ireland international, Wes Hoolahan is close to signing for Championship side West Bromwich Albion on a short-term contract.
The Dublin native impressed manager, Darren Moore when he trained for three days with the Baggies during the international break.
It has also emerged that 36-year-old centre-back Russell Martin was also taken on trial by West Brom, however, he is not expected to be offered a contract by the Midlands club.
The Irishman left Norwich last season after ten years at Carrow Road.
Hoolahan was a late bloomer on the international stage. After being rarely used under Trappatoni, the playmaker flourished under the management of Martin O’Neill, before retiring from international duty earlier this year.
