Kyle Bartley and Matt Phillips have signed new contracts with West Bromwich Albion.

Bartley is now signed until 2023 and Phillips has tied himself down until 2024.

"I think Kyle will be a future manager because he's straight with us," Albion boss Valerien Ismael said.

"After our first few days together we discussed a lot about tactics and the way we want to play.

"We spoke with him like a staff member, because he understood and tried to reproduce it on the pitch with a voice to give comments to the guys.

"He is a leader. His attitude is unbelievable and he's very professional. He takes care of the other players and the atmosphere in the changing room.

"For the club, you can't put a number on the worth of such a player. I'm really looking forward to working with him."

On Phillips, Ismael added: "We have a front three - our '7', '9' and '11' - and Matt can play all three positions.

"We have some players in the squad who are able to play many positions, and Matt is one of those players.

"He showed us early in pre-season that even the '9' position is a position for him, I believe."
