Taylor Gardner-Hickman's story of rising through the ranks features in Saturday's edition of Albion News.
The youngster enjoyed a memorable breakthrough campaign last term; making his senior debut, amassing over 20 first-team appearances and earning a maiden call-up to the England U20s squad.
Still, "you need that hard work", as the versatile wing-back details in his feature, speaking about the difficult moments he experienced growing up and how football gave him the release he needed to express himself.
Gardner-Hickman throws up some special mentions in his memorable moments section, with his winning strike in the FA Youth Cup quarter-final, MOTM performance v Coventry City and England call-up discussed in a must-not-miss chat with the confident academy graduate.
Fellow youngster and first-year scholar Kevin Mfuamba answers questions in the academy Q&A, and Steve Bruce joins skipper Jake Livermore in their usual columns ahead of Saturday's clash with the Hatters.
Programmes will be available at all the usual stalls in and around The Hawthorns on Saturday afternoon. They can also be purchased from the Stadium Megastore, which is located outside the East Stand.
Alternatively, you can buy a copy online, or have each edition of the 2022/23 season delivered to your door for matchday by purchasing a subscription here.
