Albion are delighted to confirm the season-long loan signing of Serbia international Uroš Račić from Italian side Sassuolo.

The 26-year-old adds further strength to Carlos Corberán’s options in midfield, having made 22 appearances in Serie A last year.

Račić has also earned 12 caps for his country and previously enjoyed permanent spells at Red Star Belgrade and Valencia.

The 6ft4in midfielder says he cannot wait to get started at The Hawthorns.

“I’m really happy to be here at West Bromwich Albion,” said Uroš. I’ve heard so many good things about this club and I know it has a brilliant history. 

“I have played in quite a few countries and I am excited to play in England. It’s something I’ve always wanted to try and I can’t wait to experience playing here. 

“I know the team has made a very good start, taking four points. I’d love to come in and play as many games as I can and help the team finish as high up in the table as possible. 

“I like to have the ball at my feet and I’m comfortable getting up and down the pitch. I can’t wait to get started, meet all the players and all of the fans.”

“He offers us experience of playing as a defensive and attacking midfielder in some of Europe’s top leagues, as well as internationally for Serbia.

“His arrival means we now have the depth and competition required in midfield to take on the demands of a full Championship campaign.”
