SEAN Davis has signed a three-year deal to become Gary Megson’s first signing of the summer.
The former Portsmouth midfielder was wanted by a number of clubs, having signalled his intention to leave Fratton Park.
The deal represents a significant saving for Megson, who revealed that me made a bid for the 29-year-old – previously thought to be around £2million – in January.
“We are delighted to have signed such an experienced Premier League footballer in Sean Davis. Sean made 40 appearances last season for Portsmouth and he will strengthen our midfield.
“We wanted to bring him to the Reebok in January but our bid of £3.5million was turned down by Portsmouth, who didn't want him to leave.”
Davis has made 195 Premier League appearances with Fulham, Spurs and Portsmouth and has 12 England Under-21 caps.
