New signing Barney Stewart has grabbed Albion's coveted No.9 shirt as James Morrison prepares his attacking force for the coming season.
The £1.3 million capture from Falkirk has impressed with his powerful running and tidy finishing in all of his summer appearances, although he is yet to start any of the senior matches. Jimmy-Jay Morgan appears to be Morrison's favoured partner for last season's top scorer Aune Heggebo.
The Albion boss is hoping to add to his forward options before the window closes - especially in wide positions. But he declared himself pleased with his two new boys when talking to the press ahead of the EFL Cup tie at Rotherham.
