Albion have agreed a scholarship deal with youngster Ryan Colesby following a successful trial period.

The attacking midfielder, born in Solihull, pens a contract which keeps him at The Hawthorns until the summer of 2027. 

Ryan makes the switch from local rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers, whom he'd been a youth player at since Under-10s level. 

Colesby made a positive impression on the Baggies' youth staff during his trial with the club - notably, scoring the final goal of a 6-4 FA Youth Cup victory over Harrogate Town which helped Leigh Downing's youngsters progress in the tournament back in December 2024. 

Welcome to the Albion, Ryan!
