West Bromwich Albion have secured the long-term future of goalkeeper Max O'Leary, who signed a three-year contract extension running until the summer of 2029.

The 28-year-old Republic of Ireland international initially joined the Baggies in January on a short-term six-month deal from Bristol City.

He was the first signing under former head coach Eric Ramsay.

O'Leary made 16 appearances and kept eight clean sheets overall during the campaign.

Under new boss James Morrison, who took over in late February, O'Leary featured in 12 matches and achieved eight clean sheets to help secure Albion's Championship survival.

"It was nice to contribute in a positive way in the second half of the season.

We managed to secure plenty of clean sheets which, as a goalkeeper, is always a big plus," said O'Leary.

Morrison signed a two-year contract at the end of April to remain as permanent head coach.

O'Leary noted that the manager provided clear direction for the squad upon stepping into the role.

"Knowing he was staying on as permanent manager certainly made my decision easier. I'm really looking forward to working with him again in 2026-27," O'Leary added.
