WANDERERS have confirmed the signing of Leicester City defender Matt Mills.
The Whites have not divulged the fee paid for the 25-year-old centre-half but it is understood to be around £2million.
A season-long loan had been agreed between the two clubs before the deal hit a snag just over a week ago. After further talks, the transfer has now been made a permanent one, with the former Reading and Doncaster man signing a three-year contract.
Mills was signed by Sven-Goran Eriksson from Reading last season in a deal that could have eventually been worth £5m. But after the former England boss left the King Power Stadium Mills quickly found himself out in the cold under Nigel Pearson.
He did not play for the Foxes during the last three months of last season and was ordered to train with the reserves. But Mills – who helped Reading into the play-off finals the season before last - is due to start a new chapter in his career by joining his new team-mates at Euxton tomorrow.
