Tony Pulis: Dorrans a great West Brom servant

West Brom boss Tony Pulis has paid tribute to Graham Dorrans' Albion career and backed the Scotland midfielder to help Norwich City win promotion.

Dorrans left he Hawthorns this week to join the Canaries on loan with the deal expected to become permanent for around £2m at the end of the season.

The 27-year-old made 189 appearances for Albion and was the star of their 2009-10 promotion from the Championship.

Pulis said: "Graham has been a great servant to this football club over seven years. The club paid a couple of hundred thousand pounds for him.

"I only worked with him for a short period of time and found him to be a very good lad and also a very good professional.

"Norwich have got a good player and I'm sure he'll help them get where they want to go, whether that is the play-offs or automatically promoted.

"Graham will certainly be an asset. Everything he did around the place was first-class."

Meanwhile, Pulis revealed Victor Anichebe (groin) is likely to be his only absentee through injury for Saturday's Premier League trip to Sunderland.
