Sporting director Andrew Nestor added: “Mikey was in great demand, so we are delighted that he viewed returning permanently to the Albion as the right destination for the next stage in his career.
“We all saw from the way he performed and carried himself here last season that he is the type of player that we want at this football club. Mikey's arrival compliments our squad and the other transfers we have made this summer.
“A lot of credit goes to the club’s football operations and recruitment for bringing Mikey here on loan last season. I’m so pleased we have been able to get this deal over the line and bring him back to The Hawthorns.”
