Five years after arriving from West Bromwich Albion, Tyler Roberts has departed Leeds United on a permanent deal. Championship rivals Birmingham City have paid an undisclosed fee, reportedly worth six figures, for the Wales international.
The 24-year-old arrived from the Baggies under Thomas Christiansen on the final day of the January 2018 transfer window. However, injury would prevent him from making his debut until August when Marcelo Bielsa started him in an EFL Cup win over Bolton Wanderers.
His first Whites goal would come in September that year as he struck a brace in a 3-0 win over Preston North End in the Championship. Roberts would become a firm favourite of Bielsa’s and he was a regular from the bench in those second-tier campaigns.
