West Brom confirmed on Wednesday evening that left-back Conor Townsend has signed a new contract at The Hawthorns.
And, as to be expected, a number of Baggies fans went wild at the news on social media.
The 28-year-old’s fresh deal will keep him in the Midlands until 2025, with his previous contract running until 2024.
Townsend has started every Championship fixture under Valerien Ismael this season, turning out in his natural left-back role as well as at centre-back and as a left-midfielder.
He’s averaged more crosses than any other West Brom player this season and is second on the list for the number of key passes completed per game in the Championship, while also being dispossessed the least of any Baggies regular. [WhoScored]
