Collins has signed a six-year contract, with the option of a further two years.

The Leixlip native became the most expensive Irish player in history when he joined Wolves from Burnley last summer for £20.5m, a fee which exceeded the £19m Liverpool paid for Robbie Keane in 2008.

Bees boss Thomas Frank told the club's official club website: "I'm very pleased that we’ve managed to sign Nathan. He’s a very talented centre-back and still young."

"He has a lot of very good abilities that we value a lot. He’s a composed and calm defender. His heading in both boxes is a big thing, both in open play and from set-pieces, which is massive in the Premier League."
