West Bromwich Albion are delighted to announce the signing of attacker Lewis Dobbin on a season-long loan from Aston Villa. 

The 21-year-old, who joined Villa in the summer from Everton, has made 15 Premier League appearances and spent the 2022/23 campaign on loan at Derby County.

Dobbin’s arrival strengthens Carlos Corberán’s options at the top end of the pitch and the winger says he’s determined to show everyone at The Hawthorns what he’s about.

He said: “I’m really happy to be here. It’s the perfect opportunity to get first-team minutes and show what I can do.

“I’ve heard a lot about the Championship and I know it’s a tough, competitive league. I’m ready for it, though. I really want to show what I’m about.

“I like to excite the fans and get them out of their seats. I love to score goals and create goals, so hopefully I can do lots of that here this season.”

Baggies head coach Carlos Corberán added: “Lewis is a young, talented player who has come in to strengthen our team in attack.

“He can play on both the left and right sides as a winger, and last year he played minutes in the Premier League.

“He has also experienced a loan before, which is important, when he was at Derby in League One a few seasons ago.

“We’re very pleased to have him here for the season.”
