Sky Bet Championship side Birmingham have signed former Manchester United goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak on a two-year contract.

The 33-year-old first made the move to English football when he joined West Brom from Hertha Berlin in 2004.

He played 35 times for the Baggies and also had a loan spell with United, which led to him making the move to Old Trafford permanent in a £2.125m deal in June 2007.

Poland international Kuszczak failed to secure a regular place in the side under Sir Alex Ferguson, making just 48 appearances in five years at the club, although he did feature in a squad that won three Premier League titles and two League Cups.
