* Albion have added attacking width to their injury-hit squad by landing Craig Conway on a 93-day loan from Premier League newcomers Cardiff City.

* The 5ft 7ins Scottish international winger could make his debut in Sunday's trip to Reading, subject to international clearance from the Welsh FA.

* Conway, 28, will be available for Albion's next 15 games in the Championship up to and including the visit to Middlesbrough on December 14.

* Head coach Oscar Garcia said: "We were keen to bring extra options, and with Andrea (Orlandi) now ruled out for a longer period than we initially expected, another wide player became a priority.

* "Craig is very experienced at this level and knows what it takes to be successful in the Championship. He can play on either wing, or up front as a second striker; he also has international experience and is a player who will improve our squad."

* Conway joined Cardiff on a free transfer in 2011 after spells in Scotland with Ayr United and Dundee United.

* He handed in a transfer request in November 2012, but withdrew it a month later.

* Conway ended up making 27 Championship appearances for the Welshmen last term, including the goal at Burnley in April which clinched the title.

* Conway came on as a second half substitute in Scotland's 3-2 defeat by England at Wembley last month.

* His only other appearance this season was also as a substitute in Cardiff's Capital One Cup victory at Accrington Stanley.
