WEST BROMWICH, England -- Switzerland's World Cup goalkeeper Pascal Zuberbuehler, who did not let in a goal during normal play in the finals in Germany, has signed for English club West Bromwich Albion.

West Brom, who were relegated from the Premier League in May, said the 35-year-old joined from FC Basel on a free transfer, signing a two-year contract.

Zuberbuehler kept a clean sheet in six-and-a-half hours of football at the World Cup finals.

The Swiss became the first team in history to be eliminated from the tournament without conceding a goal.

Switzerland drew 0-0 with France in their opening Group G match before beating Togo and South Korea 2-0 in their other group games to qualify for the second round. The Swiss then drew 0-0 with Ukraine but went out on penalties.

West Brom also said they had refused a transfer request from their Hungarian international forward Zoltan Gera.
