Graeme Dorrans has ended speculation over his long-term future by agreeing a new three-year deal with English Premiership side West Bromwich Albion.
A one-year option to extend his time in the Midlands had already been agreed, but both parties wanted a longer commitment.
The 27-year-old midfielder, capped 10 times for Scotland, spent three seasons at Livingston before joining West Brom in 2008 in a deal worth £250,000 to the West Lothian club. Livingston looked set for a further windfall when Dorrans was the subject of a £4m bid from West Ham in 2010 until it was discovered that their former owner Angelo Massone had cashed in the 20% sell-on fee for £50,000. The move was never completed and Dorrans signed a four-year contract to remain with West Brom soon after.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
