Zac Ashworth’s Baggies upbringing will be the main feature in Thursday night’s Carabao Cup edition of Albion News.
Gaffer Steve Bruce discusses his delight after seeing the level of performance his side have produced during their first two fixtures, and uses his column to demand the same intensity during their next game against the Blades in B71.
The Baggies boss believes his team's midweek outing will provide members of his squad with a chance to impress and get important minutes under their belts, and one player who will be pushing for senior involvement will be academy graduate Zac Ashworth.
Having recently been capped on the international stage for Wales at Under-21 level, the left-sided defender is the latest player to star in the ‘Talk us Through’ feature section of the programme, and the 19-year-old has several enjoyable experiences during his time at The Hawthorns to share.
From using the heartache suffered in the FA Youth Cup to fuel a Premier League Cup-winning journey, to making his senior and league debuts for his boyhood club, the young defender chats about the impact of his father on his career as well as his ambitions at the Albion.
Fellow countryman and Under-18s international shot-stopper Ronnie Hollingshead is the academy Q&A for the United game - and if you missed out on the reveal of the Albion News Official Collectors’ Album on Monday night, there’s still chance to purchase yours.
Details on where to secure these recently-released collectables can be found below.
2022/23 ALBION NEWS OFFICIAL COLLECTORS’ ALBUM
