West Brom: Caleb Taylor sends three-word message as Hawthorns exit confirmed

Caleb Taylor has sent a three-word message on social media after Taylor Gardner-Hickman completed his move from West Brom to Bristol City.

The Baggies announced on their website on Monday (15 January) that the 22-year-old has joined the Robins on a permanent deal after spending the first half of the season on loan at Ashton Gate.

The Albion academy product posted on Instagram about his delight at making the switch, with the 21-year-old Taylor responding by saying "good luck bro".

Makes sense

The move makes sense for everyone as Gardner-Hickman will be keen to continue playing regularly and he clearly wasn't in Carlos Corberan's plans.

It has allowed West Brom to earn some money to help keep the club running while the takeover talks are ongoing, with his loan contract believed to have had a £1.3million option-to-buy clause included in it.

It's no surprise to see defender Taylor send a message to his former teammate as the pair will have come through the academy together at the Hawthorns.

The news has come on the same day that the Baggies have completed the loan move of attacker Andreas Weimann from Bristol City.

The Albion boss will be hoping the 32-year-old Austrian can help his side challenge for promotion to the Premier League in the second half of the campaign.
