Parry pleased to have completed loan deal

Tranmere Rovers have signed West Brom midfielder Joss Labadie on loan until the end of the season. The 19-year-old is a second-year professional at the Baggies and has had previous loan spells at Cheltenham and Shrewsbury. Labadie scored five goals in 14 appearances for Shrewsbury and Rovers boss Les Parry is pleased to have completed the deal. Parry said: "Joss is a very promising young midfielder and I'm delighted to have signed him on loan. "He's strong, industrious and will add to our options in the centre of the pitch. "I'd like to thank West Brom manager Roberto Di Matteo for allowing Joss to come on loan to us. "We're still aiming to bring in a striker and left-back before the deadline on Thursday afternoon."
