West Brom star signing will have to wait for chance after thrilling start to season
Star signing Mikey Johnson is going to have to wait for his Albion chance according to John Swift – who has backed the winger to re-capture his form from last season.
The 25-year-old bagged seven goals in 20 games after arriving on loan at the club from Celtic back in January.
His scintillating displays during his loan spell helped to propel Albion into the Championship play-offs – but a permanent move this summer seemed unlikely.
However, late in the transfer window it emerged that West Brom had mounted a £3m bid for Johnston’s services – and the winger sealed a return to The Hawthorns.
Johnston made his debut off the bench in the 3-0 win over Portsmouth – but is facing stiff competition as he looks to win back a place in the starting line-up.
The returning Karlan Grant has enjoyed a superb start to the season on the left wing, playing an important role in all five games as well as getting on the score sheet at Stoke.
Midfielder John Swift explained how buoyed the Albion squad are by Johnston’s return – but insisted he will have to wait for his chance to shine once more.
