April 30 (Reuters) - ⁠West Bromwich Albion appointed ⁠James Morrison as permanent ‌coach on a two-year contract after he steered them to Championship ​safety, the club ⁠said on ⁠Thursday.

Morrison has won four, drawn six ⁠and ‌lost once since taking charge of ⁠the club on an interim ​basis ‌in March following Eric Ramsay's ⁠departure.

Despite ​a two-point deduction for a financial rules breach, ⁠West Brom secured survival ​last week when a draw with Ipswich Town left them ⁠four points clear of the relegation zone with one game remaining.

West Brom ​face Sheffield Wednesday ⁠on Saturday in their last ​game of ‌the season.
