Club historian Tim Carder has saluted Albion's capture of Vicente.

The Spanish star was officially unveiled at a press conference at The Amex today after agreeing a one-year contract at the end of last week.

Carder said: "Vicente is certainly among the most accomplished players ever to sign for Albion."
