Albion bag Moore

Last updated : 29 May 2008 By Tom Vickers

Luke Moore has finally signed for West Brom.
The England Under-21 striker had been on loan at the Baggies for the final few months of last season and helped them clinch promotion.
Tony Mowbray was clearly impressed with
Moore and Albion have paid a fee in the region of £3 million to make the move permanent.
The figure could rise by another £500,000 depending on appearances.
The young striker was brought up through the highly successful Villa academy alongside his brother Stefan.
But after Stefan failed to make it at the highest level, doubts began to surface about Luke's ability.
When Villa won the Youth Cup in 2002, he was considered one of the brightest prospects in the country.
Moore even outshone a fledgling Wayne Rooney as the Claret and Blue youth overcame Everton to lift the trophy.
However, when Luke finally made the step up to Premier League level he never seemed to consolidate his early promise.
There were undoubted flashes of brilliance including a superb hat-trick at the
Riverside in a 4-0 win over Middlesbrough, but Moore was never considered consistent enough.
All Villa fans will offer him good luck but at the same time hope he doesn't prove the club wrong.
