West Bromwich Albion‘s new signing Billy Jones has expressed his delight at having the chance to play in the Premier League.

The full back has signed on a free transfer from Preston North End who were relegated from the Championship last season.

Jones was Preston’s third top scorer with six goals last season and he has said that he is eager to prove himself at the highest level.

He told the club’s official site: “I’m made up to be here. I feel like I’ve improved year on year at Preston.

“I’m just glad the gaffer has seen that and I hope I can keep improving as a player at West Brom.

“I’m experienced in the Championship but the Premier League is a whole new league and different types of games.

“It’s a fresh challenge, I’m still young and I’m really looking forward to hopefully cracking the Premier League.

“I feel playing in a team with better individuals is obviously going to improve me as a player.

“Hopefully I can just help the team out and prove myself in this league.”

Jones is fully aware that he will have to fight for his place in the team come the start of the season.

He added: “The gaffer has told me that competition for places is good.

“The lads in that position right back have done really well for West Brom and helped them achieve a quality finish last season.

“I’m hungry to have a crack at it and see how I do.”
