Torbjørn Heggem described his first Albion open training day at The Hawthorns as a really "enjoyable experience".
The Baggies first-team squad completed Tuesday’s session in front of spectators who were treated to not only 90 minutes of action on the pitch, but also several activities in the East Stand concourse such as inflatable games, face-painting and meet and greets with Baggie Bird and Boiler Man among others.
The Norwegian international defender has started all 12 games in the Sky Bet Championship so far this term and has already become a hit with supporters.
Torbjørn revealed he was told positive things about the event from players who have been at the club longer than him, and the 25-year-old said the day didn’t disappoint.
Heggem said: “It’s amazing to train in front of our supporters and it’s something which is really special to us.
“I know a few of the boys who have experienced these days before have said how good a day it is, so we were all looking forward to it.
“It’s really nice to see so many fans come to The Hawthorns to see us train and we hope that they all had a great morning.
“The session was really good and there was lots going on so I hope the fans were able to see little bits of what we do every day on the training pitches, preparing for matches.
“We always train at our training ground so it was a nice change to head to the stadium and train there, especially as the pitch is so good. It helps to keep things fresh and to experience something completely different.
“It’s the first time I’ve ever experienced one of these days because I’ve only ever played at much smaller clubs in both Norway and Sweden. Like I say, it was really enjoyable and we got through some really important work too ahead of our game at Luton on Friday.”
