McAuley and Olsson pen new West Brom deals

West Bromwich Albion defensive pair Gareth McAuley and Jonas Olsson have put pen to paper on new contracts with the club, according to the Daily Star.

The experienced duo have commited to the Midlands side, who seem almost certain to be plying their trade in the Premier League again next season.

At thirty-six, McAuley is the oldest outfield player to ever play for the Baggies in the Premier League and his appearance in Saturday’s defeat to Manchester City was his one hundred and sixty-eighth for the club since signing from Ipswich Town in 2011.

Olsson has been at the Hawthorns even longer, with the thirty-three year old closing in on his two hundred and fiftieth appearance since arriving from Dutch side NEC back in 2008.

Tony Pulis’ side face host Watford on Saturday afternoon and the home win can be backed at a price of 7/5.
