da poker： West Bromwich Albion have slowly but surely been transitioning the setup of their promising youth system through a number of key changes to their staff.
Richard Stevens has been poached from Coventry City to lead it all and he comes with an impressive track record having been the man to bring the likes of Callum Wilson and James Maddison to light at the Sky Blues.

The final piece of the puzzle is yet to be put in place after Michael Appleton’s sudden departure to take over the reins at League One outfit Lincoln City, but for the time being, everything is on the right path.
Just this week, the club announced that Darren Fletcher would be returning to the club in a coaching capacity, which is surely going to be a huge boost to the young players at the club as the former Baggies skipper captained the side in the Premier League for over two seasons.
He comes with vast experience having played 341 top-flight games during which he won five titles while he also has a Champions League winners medal to his name too.
After the news, Fletcher said: “It’s a great opportunity. I’m working towards my A licence, and when the invitation came from Luke to do some work back at Albion it was a simple decision I love coming back to the Club – it’s a special place for me and the moment you walk back through the doors it’s like being with your family again.”
He joins Boaz Myhill and James Morrison as former players involved in the academy setup this season.

This has clearly all been well thought out by sporting and technical director Luke Dowling – he’s brought in three players who know the club inside out and understand what it means to put on the blue and white stripes.
It will only pay dividends down the line as their experience and knowledge can be passed down onto Albion’s emerging talents.
Yet another smart move from Dowling as the club look to make the most of their outstanding youth system at long last.
