Stephen Dobbie's deal will become permanent at the end of the season.
Stephen Dobbie has joined Albion’s arch rivals Crystal Palace on loan for the rest of the season.
A deal was for out of favour striker was finally confirmed after the 11pm deadline.
The move will become permanent on July 1.
Dobbie, 30, has been restricted to five starts since signing from Swansea at the end of the August window and has recently lost his place in the squad following the return of Vicente.
A permanent move to Palace was changed to a loan deal initially due to complications over how many permanent clubs a player can have in a season.
As part of the deal Dobbie will not be allowed to play for Palace against Albion in March nor in the play-offs should Albion get there.
