Goalkeeper

Back where he began, the largely popular figure between the sticks who's saved a thousand defences

Experienced former Republic of Ireland international who joined the Baggies in January 2007, bringing his career full circle; he had originally been at the Hawthorns as a schoolboy quarter of a century earlier.

Having turned professional in 1991, he gained his spurs with York City and Bury, but it was at Charlton Athletic, whom he joined for a then-club record £1 million, that he really made his name, helping the Addicks gain promotion to the Premiership and keeping 19 clean sheets in the process.

Despite being born in Salford, the widely popular Kiely received international recognition from the Republic of Ireland, who gave him nine caps.

In 2008, he signed an extension on his original 18-month deal, to keep him at West Brom until the end of the 2008/09 season.

Dean Kiely is an imposing figure between the sticks. He is a first-rate goalkeeper with a big reputation in the Premier League and was consistently one of the top-flight's best performers. He has a great command of his area, good at reading the game and superb reflexes. Literally a match winner, Dean Kiely was unfortunate to scarcely play for Eire due to the equally great form of Shay Given. After leaving Charlton he had a similar situation at Portsmouth, where he played second fiddle to David James and faced competition from the fledging Jamie Ashdown. A brilliant keeper who never get a chance for his country but was brilliant for the likes of Charlton Athletic, York and West Brom. Kiely has a career record of 234 clean sheets in his 725 club appearances as of 21 January 2008
