Jed Wallace sends message to James Morrison after West Brom exit confirmed

Jed Wallace’s four year stay at Albion has come to a conclusion - with the winger part of a handful of players released by the club.

Signed by Steve Bruce back in 2022 - Wallace was a marquee signing for Albion and was regarded as one of the best free agents available at the time.

He was taken in by Albion fans for his performances amid a rough start for Albion in the 2022/23 season - and went on to play a key role over the next two seasons.

In his final two campaigns, amid injuries and changes in the squad, he has found himself out of the side.

But he played a key role for Albion in the recent revival under James Morrison, before suffering his latest injury set back.

In all he made 150 appearances - netting 16 goals and claiming 16 assists during his four years.

And the skipper has sent a message to Albion fans, insisting it was an honour to be handed the captain’s armband by former boss Carlos Corberan.

He also had a message to James Morrison as he now looks for a new club.

He said: “I would like to personally thank all of the amazing staff behind the scenes and all the players I’ve been lucky enough to work with over the past four years.

“I’d also like to congratulate club legend Mozza on becoming the next head coach of this great club and wish him all the very best in his tenure at The Hawthorns.

“Finally and most importantly to you, the fans.

“To be honest, it’s hard to put into words what it has meant to me to captain this wonderful football club. Ever since Carlos (Corberan) gave me that honour, I have tried my utmost to represent you and the Albion in the best way I could.

“There have been plenty of ups and downs throughout the last few seasons but I thank you all for your constant support.

“It’s something me and my family will never forget.

“I look forward to the next step of my career but will always keep a close eye on all things Albion.

“See you all again.”
