Millwall have signed goalkeeper Joel Coleman on a one-year deal.

The 29-year-old, who played in the Premier League for Huddersfield Town, has been signed on a free transfer, having spent the past two seasons at Bolton Wanderers.

The Lions have already signed keepers Steven Benda and Max Crocombe this summer and Coleman has been brought in to add further depth.

"Joel has played at every level, from the Premier League to League Two, and has also been involved in a Championship play-off final, so his experience is what we are looking for in him as well," said Millwall goalkeeping coach Dean Thornton.

"I've seen at previous clubs how undervalued the role that Joel has come into can be.

"He can come into training and drive standards as well as supporting Max and Steven. But also he brings some excitement to sessions and will keep the goalkeeping unit working really well."

The 6ft 5in Coleman is a product of Oldham Athletic's academy and began his career with the Latics before moving on to Huddersfield, Shrewsbury, Fleetwood, Rochdale, Ipswich and Bolton.

Millwall have signed centre-back Caleb Taylor from West Bromwich Albion for an undisclosed fee.

The 22-year-old has signed a "long-term" contract at The Den.

The move follows Japhet Tanganga's departure to Sheffield United on Thursday.

Taylor made 36 League One appearances on back-to-back loans at Wycombe Wanderers last season, playing in both legs of the Chairboys' play-off semi-final defeat by Charlton Athletic.

"He was our number one target all summer with regards to a centre-back," Millwall director of football Steve Gallen told the club website, external.

"With Japhet's departure, we've had to speed this one up - he is 22 years old, good in the air and good on the ball.

"We hope he is someone we can help develop and move along with the football club."

Taylor came through the Baggies' academy before making his debut in the Carabao Cup against Arsenal in 2021-22.

He has spent time on loan at Cheltenham Town and Bolton Wanderers, as well as Wycombe.
