Izzy Brown stands by quitting West Brom for Chelsea

Izzy Brown stands by his decision to quit West Brom for Chelsea.

Despite his lack of first-team opportunities at Stamford Bridge, Brown thinks he made the right call back in 2013.

The winger, on-loan at Huddersfield, told the Daily Telegraph: "I don't regret the decision to leave. Maybe I would have had more Premier League games but everyone has a different pathway.

"The manager at the time [Steve Clarke] was sacked early the following season and I could easily have been bombed back into the Under-18s.

"People say leaving West Brom was all down to my family but it was all down to me. Being 16 and supporting Chelsea as a kid, when a team like that tells you they want you it's hard for any teenager to say no."
