A whole host of West Bron fans have flocked to Twitter to show their excitement over signing Brighton’s Matt Clarke.
The defender spent the previous two seasons on loan at Derby County and is now set for his third successive temporary move away from the Seagulls, with West Brom his next destination.
Will West Brom be promoted next season?
Yes!
No!
Clarke, who joined Brighton from Portsmouth in 2019, is still yet to make an appearance for his parent club, but he did win Derby’s player of the year award during the 2019/20 campaign.
A lot of Baggies fans have taken to Twitter to show their delight at Clarke joining the club on a temporary basis.
What have these West Brom fans had to say?
“Announce promotion now”
“Came to the better Albion, love to see it”
“Top signing”
“YESSSSSSSS”
“Left-footed CB, good on the ball. Exactly what was needed. Too bad it’s a loan and we’re inevitably going to love and lose the guy”
“Great signing”
“League will be won by October #wba”
With 81 games worth of Championship experience, he could turn out to be a solid addition as the Baggies search for an immediate bounce back to the Premier League.
Clarke is the second signing of the Valerien Ismael era with his former Barnsley captain, Alex Mowatt, following him to The Hawthorns earlier this transfer window.
