ROMAN Bednar joined Albion in a beat-the-deadline season-long loan move from Hearts on August 31, 2007, with a view to a permanent deal.
The final paperwork which confirmed him as Albion's 13th summer signing was faxed through just 15 minutes before the transfer window closed at midnight.
Bednar's availability for first-team selection at The Hawthorns was initially hampered by a niggling calf injury suffered at the Edinburgh club.
He finally regained full fitness to make his Albion debut as a substitute in the 3-0 win at league leaders Watford in November 2007.
Bednar joined SPL outfit Hearts from Czech side Mlada Boleslav in July 2005 and scored 13 goals in 39 starts for the Jambos, including a double in a 2-1 victory over champions Celtic in the 2006/07 campaign.
Before joining the Baggies he was capped once by the Czech Republic, making his debut as a second-half sub in a 3-1 home defeat by Serbia in August 2006.
Bednar previously made eight appearances at Under-20 level before stepping up to the Under-21s, winning four caps and netting twice.
