Birmingham City have signed former Ireland youth captain Noe Baba on a 12-month contract.

The Cameroon-born U19 international joins from Fulham, who he joined in January 2013, despite reported interest from Cetlic and Manchester United.

The 19-year-old, who started his youth career at Castlebar Celtic and became the first African-born player to captain an Irish international side with the U17s, told the Birmingham City website: "I've been training here for the last month and it's been very good. I'm very pleased and I think it's a very good opportunity for me. I just want to kick on and start again with something I love doing."
