West Brom defender Marek Cech joins Turkish side Trabzonspor

West Brom have confirmed left-back Marek Cech has signed for Turkish Super Lig runner-ups Trabzonspor for an undisclosed fee.

Cech, an international for Slovakia, is understood to have signed for a fee just under £1 million although the length of the contract has not been confirmed.

The left-back, who arrived from FC Porto in 2008, looks set for Champions League football this season after Fenerbahce were expelled from the competition due to match-fixing allegations.

Currently away on international duty with his national team, Cech will face Inter, CSKA Moscow and Lille in the Champions League but will be hoping for more first team football in Turkey.

Despite making 68 league appearances for the Baggies, the 28 year-old lost his place in the first-team last season to Nicky Shorey and therefore sought pastures new.

Cech, whose last appearance for the club was during the League Cup win at Bournemouth, has become the second West Brom player to leave for Turkey this summer after Scott Carson left for 2009-10 Super Lig champions Bursaspor.

Trabzonspor have had a busy summer bringing in Didier Zokora from Sevilla, Frankfurt’s Halil Altintop and Volkan Sen of Bursaspor.
