Overview
- O'Leary signed the three-year contract on Tuesday to keep him at West Brom until 2029 after joining the club on a short-term deal in January.
- He credited James Morrison's promotion from interim to permanent manager for bringing clarity to the squad and said Morrison's appointment made his long-term decision easier.
- Reports differ on exact figures but O'Leary was widely praised for a string of clean sheets during the late-season revival that secured the club's Championship survival.
- West Brom have already done some end-of-season business with understudy Joe Wildsmith released and academy goalkeeper Josh Griffiths remaining on the books while drawing reported interest from Stoke.
- The deal gives West Brom short-term stability in goal while setting up a competition for the No.1 spot and leaves Morrison to decide the pecking order as the club prepares for 2026–27.
