Albion are set to complete the signing of Preston North End midfielder Jason Jarrett in time for Tuesday night's visit to League One table toppers Leicester City.
The 29-year-old midfielder, who has played most of his football at Championship level, will complete the transfer tomorrow, signing a deal with Albion until the end of the season.
Micky Adams said, "I am sure Jason will prove an important addition and can add another dimension to our midfield while bringing some added experience to the squad.
"He is an energetic box-to-box midfielder who can operate in either an attacking or defensive role anywhere across the middle."
Bury-born Jarrett began his career at Blackpool before spells with Wrexham and Bury, but it was at Wigan the six-foot midfielder made his name under Paul Jewell, as he helped the Latics go from the old Division Two to the Premiership.
He left Athletic shortly after their promotion to the top flight, moving to Norwich, before a loan switch to Preston in March 2006 became permanent in the summer of that year.
The midfielder, who played on loan with Leicester last season, will link up with his new team-mates tomorrow and be part of the Albion squad which travels to the Walkers Stadium for Tuesday night's match.
Albion tied up the deal with Preston earlier today, and chairman Dick Knight finalised the deal earlier today with Preston counterpart Derek Shaw.
