Brandon Thomas-Asante bids emotional farewell to West Brom ahead of imminent departure

Ghana forward Brandon Thomas-Asante has bid an emotional farewell to West Bromwich Albion ahead of his imminent departure.

The 25-year-old has reportedly agreed a deal with Coventry City and his statement confirms his signing is awaiting announcement now.

Thomas-Asante impressed in the Championship last season, netting 11 goals and providing two assists for the Baggies. His performances attracted interest from several clubs, including Hull City.

But Coventry came into the picture over the last three days and successfully convinced him to join them through former Ghana assistant coach, George Boateng, who is now a first team coach there.

Read Asante’s statement posted on his Instagram.

Baggies,

It's been under two years, but the love I felt will stay with me for a lifetime.

From scoring on my debut to now only feels like days have passed, but seasons change and it's time to take this step onwards now. Knowing that I have contributed all the commitment and value I could to you all in the circumstances, achieving a strong league position, does give me peace.

Some of the moments which stand out to me include the goals against Stoke and Bristol. I do wish there were more of them, but our mission and approach, at times, felt that other aspects of my game were prioritised. That being said, I hope both the special moments and my commitment to the team may stay in your minds.

I'm honored to have the opportunity to have played with amazing players, work with amazing individuals from catering team, to media, to the laundry ladies, physio and sports science staff, wellbeing staff and of course coaching staff and more. I very much cherish my connection with the Hawthorns crowd, and it was an absolute honor to be top scorer in my 2 seasons here.

Going forwards, I hope the fans can be fulfilled as the club continues on this trajectory, returning to the heights you all desire and deserve. Thanks for the memories, and for welcoming my family to be a part of that chapter.

All the best, BTA.
