Andrew Moran has joined Los Angeles FC on loan until January.
The Republic of Ireland international spent last season on loan with Stoke City, where he made 35 Championship appearances.
Technical director David Weir said, “This is an exciting opportunity for Andrew, where he will get to test himself in a new league and culture, as well as work alongside some of the big names in the game.
“We will keep close tabs on his progress and wish him the best of luck during his time in Los Angeles.”
The 21-year-old has spent the last two campaigns on loan in the second tier, making 41 appearances for Blackburn Rovers, before last year’s stint with the Potters.
He has made three appearances for the Albion first team.
