Midfielder Alex Mowatt has signed a new two-year contract to extend his stay at The Hawthorns until the summer of 2026.

The deal will automatically extend for a further 12 months should Mowatt trigger an appearance-related clause in his contract.

The midfielder played 48 matches during the 2023/24 campaign - scoring twice and claiming five assists during an impressive season.

29-year-old Mowatt – who joined from Barnsley in July 2021 – has made a total of 84 appearances in blue-and-white stripes.

And, upon agreeing the deal, Alex admits he “loves it” at The Hawthorns is excited to continue his journey with the Baggies.

He said: “I’m delighted to be staying and my mind was made up as soon as last season had finished. 

“It’s been a long wait but I’m happy to get it done because I love it here. The players, all the staff around the place, I get on with everyone really well.

"I really enjoyed last season. It was one of my favourites during my time in football so it was a no-brainer to extend and go again this year.

“That’s three times in the play-offs now for me, but it’s always nice to be in and around those places. We’ve got a strong group, some good players and with a few new signings as well I can’t see why we can’t be in and around it again.”

Carlos Corberán added: “I’m delighted Alex has committed his future to 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.”
