West Bromwich Albion have boosted their attacking line-up with the addition of Lewis Dobbin, who joins on a season-long loan from Aston Villa.
The 21-year-old forward, who transferred to Villa from Everton in the summer, brings experience from his 15 Premier League appearances and a loan spell at Derby County during the 2022/23 season.
Dobbin is eager to make an impact at The Hawthorns.
“I’m really happy to be here,” he expressed.
“It’s the perfect opportunity to get first-team minutes and show what I can do.”
Having heard much about the competitive nature of the Championship, Dobbin feels prepared for the challenges ahead.
“I know it’s a tough, competitive league. I’m ready for it, though. I really want to show what I’m about. I like to excite the fans and get them out of their seats. I love to score goals and create goals, so hopefully I can do lots of that here this season.”
West Bromwich Albion’s head coach, Carlos Corberán, shared his enthusiasm for the new addition. “Lewis is a young, talented player who has come in to strengthen our team in attack. He can play on both the left and right sides as a winger, and last year he played minutes in the Premier League.”
Corberán also highlighted Dobbin’s valuable loan experience at Derby County in League One.
“He has also experienced a loan before, which is important. We’re very pleased to have him here for the season.”
