Aston Villa midfielder Mark Kinsella has joined First Division West Brom on loan until the end of the season.

The Republic of Ireland international joined Villa from Charlton for £700,000 in August 2002 and made 24 appearances last season.

But Kinsella (31) has been restricted to just two outings this term under David O'Leary and will strengthen Albion's bid to win promotion back to the Barclaycard Premiership.

West Brom chairman Jeremy Peace said:  "Mark comes with a wealth of experience which could prove vital in the coming weeks.  We're delighted to have him on board."
