Carlos Corberan will be thrilled as contract terms are officially agreed at West Brom
Carlos Corberan has been handed a massive boost after Alex Mowatt agreed to extend his stay with West Brom.
As announced via the club’s official website on Monday (1 July), Mowatt is set to stay put at The Hawthorns.
The midfielder has put pen to paper on a new two-year contract with the Baggies that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2026.
In addition, the deal will extend automatically for an extra 12 months if Mowatt reaches a specific number of appearances.
And Corberan has expressed his delight, telling the club, “He is not a player who I need to introduce.
“His massive commitment to the club last year – playing almost every game – was key to us achieving a place in the play-offs and I have no questions regarding his character or football skills.
“He continues to grow as a leader on and off the pitch and he is an increasingly important member of the squad.”
It has been public knowledge for some time now that Mowatt had been offered a new deal at The Hawthorns.
And supporters would have been relieved to discover that the 29-year-old had accepted the offer.
