Rickie Lambert: West Brom sign striker from Liverpool

Rickie Lambert joined West Brom from Liverpool on Friday and then scored on his friendly debut three hours later. The 33-year-old England striker, who signed for an undisclosed fee on a two-year deal, marked his move with an effort against ex-club Bristol Rovers. "Rickie is a good, strong, solid player who is a great character, good in the dressing room and good on the pitch," said West Brom head coach Tony Pulis. "We are very pleased to have him on board."
