Millwall sign defender Taylor from West Brom

Caleb Taylor made 39 appearances in all competitions on loan at Wycombe Wanderers last season, scoring three goals

Millwall have signed centre-back Caleb Taylor from West Bromwich Albion for an undisclosed fee with the 22-year-old signing a "long-term" contract at The Den.

The move follows Japhet Tanganga's departure to Sheffield United on Thursday.

Taylor made 36 League One appearances on loan at Wycombe Wanderers last season, playing in both legs of the Chairboys' play-off semi-final defeat by Charlton Athletic.

"He was our number one target all summer with regards to a centre-back," Millwall director of football Steve Gallen told the club website.

"With Japhet's departure, we've had to speed this one up - he is 22-years old, good in the air and good on the ball.

"We hope he is someone we can help develop and move along with the football club."

Taylor came through the Baggies' academy before making his debut in the Carabao Cup against Arsenal in 2021-22.

He has spent time on loan at Cheltenham Town and Bolton Wanderers, as well as Wycombe.
