West Brom have signed Beira Mar left-back Tininho in a £230,000 deal which clears the path for Paul Robinson's expected switch to Birmingham.Tininho has signed a two-year contract with the option of a further year following a successful trial spell at The Hawthorns. The 26-year-old played the full 90 minutes of the 5-1 win at Northampton on Wednesday night when he set up two goals. His capture is expected to clear the way for Robinson's move to Blues, who have already had a player-exchange bid for him rejected but are likely to return with a £2million offer. Tininho is Mowbray's fifth summer signing, joining Shelton Martis, Craig Beattie, Leon Barnett and Texeira in Albion's squad. There have also been several departures from The Hawthorns, with Diomansy Kamara, Jason Koumas and Paul McShane all being sold to Premier League clubs and Curtis Davies desperate to leave the Baggies. Mowbray is expected to up his offer for Stoke defender Carl Hoefkens to £1million following McShane's move to Sunderland, and has also been linked with Southampton midfielder Jhon Viafara and Celtic striker Derek Riordan.
