Slovenian international midfielder Robert Koren has become the second Albion player in as many days to sign a new Hawthorns contract. Much like Paul Robinson, Koren has also penned a new two-year deal, plus a year's option in the club's favour.
Tony Mowbray's first signing as Albion boss, Koren joined from Lillestrom on a Bosman back in January 2007 and has excelled across the Baggies' midfield. The 27-year-old hit double figures last term and has already opened his account this term netting at Hartlepool in the League Cup.
"Like I said about Robbo yesterday, I want as many good footballers at the club as possible and Robert fits into that category," Tony Mowbray said.
"He has become an important member of the squad over the past 19 months and has a terrific attitude.
"I'm delighted he's committed his future to the club."
