 Despite renewed interest from Camacho, then coach of Osasuna, Pablo moved to England, where he signed a three-year deal with West Bromwich Albion, newly returned to the Premier League, to begin on 1 July 2010 when his contract with Atlético expired. He made his debut on the opening day of the season, partnering Gabriel Tamaș in central defence as Albion lost 6 – 0 at Chelsea, and scored his first goal ten days later, in a 2 – 0 win at League One (third-tier) club Leyton Orient in the League Cup. He was used sporadically, making only ten Premier League appearances, of which just two came in 2011. Teammate Jonas Olsson suggested that it took at least a season to accustom oneself to English football, especially for someone who spoke little English when he first arrived.
