‘I think I owe a few of my old managers an apology…’

Who else could that be than James Morrison, reflecting on his switch of roles now that his position as our Under-23s Assistant Manager has been confirmed.

It was an appointment that was never going to be greeted by anything other than delight from Albion fans who took the Scottish international midfielder to their hearts during a fantastic 12-year career at The Hawthorns.

But in his interview with WBA TV, Mozza admits it’s a different ball game now he’s helping to pick the team as opposed to playing in it.

“I’ve got a lot to learn,” says James, who has stepped up to a permanent position after an extended trial working within the Academy age groups following his playing retirement.
