West Brom sign US international defender Campbell
Campbell, 24, can play at right-back or centre-back and has signed a four-year deal at the Hawthorns.
He made his United States debut in January and has played 16 games this season for Montreal - and the deal is subject to international clearance.
"I'm really excited to be here. I honestly can't wait to put on the boots and start training," Campbell told the Albion website.
"When the chance to sign came, I wanted to take it and experience football in Europe. I'm ready to go.
"The biggest thing for me is to stay focused on the task ahead, which is to help the team win. Whatever challenges come on the journey, I'll be ready."
He joins fellow American Daryl Dike at The Hawthorns, the latter having joined Albion in January 2022.
The Baggies kick-off the new Championship season with a home game against Blackburn Rovers on 9 September.

55-marathon challenge runner to be in Bradford this Saturday
A runner who is undertaking one marathon in each of 55 English cities will tackle his fifth this Saturday (August 2) in Bradford. Adam Rodriguez, 28, from Bath, is running the marathons to raise funds for charity Move Against Cancer, having been inspired by his mother's own cancer journey. He began the challenge in Hereford on July 5, and will continue through to July 2026. Mr Rodriguez said: "A few years ago my mother bravely battled large B-cell lymphoma in three places, and while she survived, the journey tested every part of our family. "I'm passionate about trying to raise money for Move Against Cancer because they bring hope, movement, and community to people navigating the weight of cancer, reminding us that no one goes through it alone." Mr Rodriguez's final marathon will be in Salisbury. The day before that, he will be running a marathon in London - so he will be capping his challenge with two marathons in as many days. Since he works full-time, Mr Rodriguez is running his marathons on Saturdays and Sundays. Donations can be made to Mr Rodriguez's fundraising campaign via JustGiving at

The ‘ridiculous' part of NFL training camp media that J.J. Watt is tired of
J.J. Watt is fed up with the over-analyzation of NFL training camp. The five-time All-Pro defensive end took to X on Thursday and eviscerated members of sports media who are tracking stats during the preseason. 'Training Camp 'stats' are insane and ridiculous,' Watt posted. 'Used to think it was always just people joking, but now seeing them seriously reported. You have no idea what the purpose of that period is, what the goals are, what the context is, etc. 'It could be a strictly 3rd & Long blitz period where every play is skewed to the defenses advantage. Coaches could be asking the QB to focus specifically on one route concept. DLine may be focusing only on bull rushes one day or just speed rushes for one period.' Watt, 36, added that people covering training camp need to take into account how it serves for players' growth for the start of the season. 'More importantly, practice is for practicing. You're supposed to fail. You're supposed to try new things, see what works and what doesn't work, etc. If you only do what works, you'll never grow, adapt, change. 'The entire point of training camp is to build and grow towards the season so that you perform your best when the real games start.' Watt's statements were generally received well by some in the sports world, with Giants host John Schmeekl saying, 'I cannot find a large enough number to amplify this by,' in response. 'This,' Zak Keefer of The Athletic replied. 'Tip: don't overreact to training camp tweets. Read actual stories (which have context).' Watt himself has shifted into sports media following his 12-year NFL career, with the three-time Defensive Player of the Year set to be an in-game analyst alongside Ian Eagle for CBS Sports for this upcoming season. 'There is nothing better than the energy and excitement of being in the stadium on game day in the NFL,' Watt said in a statement. 'I couldn't pass up the opportunity to return to that atmosphere each week, working with one of the best in Ian. 'While I certainly miss delivering hits on the field, it will be nice to leave the stadium without taking any, unless Ian decides to try something crazy.'
