Bowyer's Birmingham deal

Birmingham have completed the loan signing of West Ham midfielder Lee Bowyer until the end of the season.

The 32-year-old will become Alex McLeish's fifth signing of the January transfer window after Keith Fahey, Robin Shroot, Scott Sinclair and Hameur Bouazza all joined the Coca-Cola Championship side.

"Lee's a dynamic player and I want to bring a dynamic look back to the team," said McLeish.

"Roy Aitken, one of my assistants, has worked with him at Leeds and knows him as an attacking midfielder, but he also knows that Lee can give a lot to the team as well."
