"James did very well for Hull City. I've had a good chat with him and he's the type of player I like," Tony Pulis told West Brom's official website.
"He's young, a strong character, a good defender, he has good feet and he has the Manchester United stamp all over him, just like [Stoke City's] Ryan Shawcross and Darren Fletcher. They're wonderful lads and I'm told James is as well.
"From the people I spoke to, like Steve Bruce and people in the Welsh party, they speak very highly of him.
"Steve especially gave him a great mention and there is no better accolade than Steve Bruce giving a defender a good drum roll.
"James is a good player who can play anywhere along the back line and I'm confident he will get better with age.“
