Your support makes all the difference.Ugo Ehiogu's career has come full circle with the expected completion of his move from Middlesbrough to West Bromwich Albion today.
The Baggies first gave the Hackney-born Ehiogu his chance in professional football when he joined them as a 17-year-old in 1989. Now, 16 years later, central defender Ehiogu is poised to return to The Hawthorns.
The 33-year-old is out of contract in the summer and has agreed personal terms with the manager, Bryan Robson, who said: "We're so far down the line with big Ugo that there are only a few minor details to try and tie up. I was hoping to have him in on Monday but hopefully by tomorrow he'll be a West Brom player.
"He's a big strong defender who has vast experience of Premiership football. I think Ugo will be good for Curtis Davies and Neil Clement with the experience he has. He is also a good communicator on the pitch."
