Port Vale have announced the signing of defender Kyle Howkins on loan from West Brom until the end of the season.
The 21-year-old Howkins, who came through the academy and youth structure at the Hawthorns, has previously had loans spells at Kidderminster, Mansfield and Cambridge.
A statement on the League Two club's website reads: "On behalf of everyone at Port Vale Football Club, we offer him a warm welcome and look forward to seeing him in action."
Howkins has never played a competitive match for the Baggies first team, since joining as a youth team player in the summer of 2014.
Vale have also brought in Lincoln defender Callum Howe on an 18-month deal for an undisclosed fee.
