The 22-year-old, who played in 35 Barclays Premier League games for Aston Villa last season, has signed a four-year deal with the top flight newcomers.

"Having spoken to the manager, and seen the way he's going, I think there's going to be a good future here," said Carson.

He added: ``Everyone I spoke to about West Brom last year said they were the best footballing side in the Championship and deserved to get back into the Premier League.

``Obviously it's a big step into the Premier League but I'm confident, having spoken to the manager and seen the players that are at the club, we can have a good season.

``It's a big weight off my mind knowing that I'm going to be at a club for the next four or five years and maybe even longer.

``It's not easy going to a club for just one season. By the time you settle in, it's time to leave.

``Hopefully I can get settled here really quickly, get back to playing football, get a good run in the team and find some consistency in my game.

``I've got two full seasons of Premier League games under my belt and I know what it's about."
