Wanderers today completed the signing of Matt Taylor for an undisclosed fee believed to be in the region of £4million.
The 26-year-old former England Under-21 international completed his move from Portsmouth after undergoing a medical at the Reebok Stadium.
The deal brings to an end Gary Megson's lengthy pursuit of the versatile left-side player who can operate either at left back or in midfield.
Wanderers agreed a fee for the player at the start of the transfer window but had to wait for Pompey boss Harry Redknapp to sanction the move as he wanted to bring new players to Fratton Park first.
Taylor has signed a three and a half-year deal.
