Former Sweden Under-20 and Under-21 defender Jonas Olsson has completed his switch from NEC Nijmegen for £800,000 after today passing a medical. The 6ft4in 25-year-old has joined on a two-year contract, with a further year in the club's favour. The deal could rise by a further £360,000 depending on appearances.
"I'm delighted to welcome Jonas to the club," Tony Mowbray said.
"He's got different assets to our other centre-halves.
"He's a big, tall, left-sided defender who will bring physical attributes to our team due to his sheer size.
"Jonas is comfortable on the ball, can pick a pass and also has a real winner's attitude.
"He's been brought in to increase competition at centre-half and I'm looking forward to working with him and helping to develop his career in the Premier League."
Olsson joins new signings Roman Bednar, Luke Moore, Do-Heon Kim, Graham Dorrans, Gianni Zuiverloon, Marek Cech, Scott Carson, Abdoulaye Meite and Borja Valero, becoming
