West Bromwich signs Koren to new two-year deal

---

West Bromwich, England (Sports Network) - Midfielder Robert Koren has put pen to paper on a new two-year contract with West Bromwich.

The 27-year-old Slovenia international has agreed a new deal with the option for a third year just one day after fullback Paul Robinson pledged his own future to the Baggies with a fresh contract.

Koren arrived at The Hawthorns on a free transfer from Lillestrom in January 2007 and has gone on to make over 70 first-team appearances for the club.

"Like I said about Robbo yesterday, I want as many good footballers at the club as possible and Robert fits into that category," manager Tony Mowbray told the club's official website.

"He's become an important member of the squad over the past 19 months and has a terrific attitude. I'm delighted he's committed his future to the club."
