West Brom sensation Reyes Cleary drops exit hint on Instagram
West Brom youngster Reyes Cleary has dropped a big hint on Instagram that his time at the Championship club is coming to an end.
The 18-year-old has been sensational this season for Peter Gilbert’s Under-18s side.
He has a contract at the club till the end of the season, and it seems he has already played his last game for the club.
Cleary wrote on the Instagram story: “What a journey it’s been! Thank you for everything.”
Top talent
The youngster is a top talent who progressed through the academy ranks at the club.
In December, he was offered a professional contract, and in the same month last year, he was nominated for the Premier League 2 player of the month award.
In January 2022, he made his senior debut for the Baggies when he came on as a substitute in the 2-1 FA Cup defeat against Brighton and Hove.
The Under 18 ended the season brilliantly with a 4-0 win against Reading youngsters to finish the season in 10th.
Layton Love and Samuel Oluwatobi scored, but it was the familiar face, Cleary who grabbed the headline with a brace on Monday (9 May).
The teenager has taken his total goal tally to 31 in competitive games this season where 18 of them have come in 13 appearances for the Under-18s in the league and a further seven for the Under-23s too.
He also has four goals in five matches in the Premier League Cup, but he was not given the opportunity to shine for the senior team by Steve Bruce.
Cleary is one of the most prolific talents to have come out of the West Brom academy, but it seems the journey is over for him.
In other West Brom news, this player dubbed the “Championship Zidane” needs to be brought back into the fold next season.
