West Brom

West Brom midfielder Jamie Andrews has extended his loan spell at Yeovil Town. The 20-year-old has impressed with the National League side and will now remain there until January as he looks to carry on getting game time under his belt.

Carlos Corberan has made a positive impression since taking over at the Hawthorns from Steve Bruce. He has said he isn’t distracted by the expectation to do well at the club and has told the Express & Star: “I never believe in expectations, what I believe is in facing the situation that life gives you and puts (in front of) you. Football is the same, what I’ve been watching and what I like is one level of support and togetherness between the fans and the team.

“That is very, very high because we need to match this support, we need to win for this support from our fans, we need to show to them we want to change the situation and win the games.”

Birmingham City

As per our sister title the Doncaster Free Press, Birmingham striker Josh Andrews will have ‘discussions’ with current loan club Doncaster Rovers over his future there. He has played five times for the League Two club this term and hasn’t scored.

George Hall has been linked with a move to Leeds United this winter. However, as detailed in a report by Birmingham Live, the Blues are ‘very insistent’ that he still has 18 months left on his contract so will be under no pressure to cash in on him in the upcoming transfer window.
