Mikey Johnston has detailed his decision to part ways with Celtic and make the move to West Bromwich Albion this summer.
The talented Republic of Ireland winger garnered much interest after impressing during his loan spell at The Hawthorns last season. Despite Sheffield United believing they had secured his signature, West Brom swooped in with a last-minute offer that ultimately won Johnston over.
With the offer from The Baggies on the table, Johnston bid farewell to his Celtic teammates and returned to the Championship club where he had already won over the fans.
Now a permanent member of West Brom, Johnston explained his reasoning for leaving Glasgow for the Midlands in an interview with Birmingham Live. He expressed his confidence in the team’s strength and determination, highlighting their potential to secure promotion to the Premier League.
Johnston emphasized his eagerness to make an impact and contribute to West Brom’s success, setting his sights on achieving promotion to the top flight. Despite facing challenges with injuries at Celtic, Johnston’s move to West Brom has allowed him to showcase his true potential and excel on the pitch.
As Johnston continues his journey with his new club, fans at 67 Hail Hail can only hope to see him thrive and reach new heights in his career, both domestically and internationally.
