Albion winger Jeffrey Monakana has been sent out on loan again, this time to League Two strugglers Mansfield.
He has joined the Stags for an initial month following previous temporary spells with Aberdeen and Crawley.
Monakana, 21, has not made a first team appearance for Albion since he was bought from Preston 13 months ago for an undisclosed fee on a development contract which expires in the summer.
The former Arsenal youth prospect made four substitute appearances during a two-month loan stint at Crawley at the end of last season and had ten sub outings for Aberdeen in the first half of the current campaign.

Albion's academy manager John Morling said: "Jeff came to us with Football League experience already having made over 20 starts for Preston, so for his development it is important he continues to be in a competitive first team environment.”
Mansfield are 18th in League Two, five points clear of the relegation zone.
