Jay Rodriguez ready to play where needed for West Brom

Jay Rodriguez is ready to play where he's needed for West Brom.

The 27-year-old thundered a 20-yard rocket into the top corner during Albion's game against Leicester City in the Premier League Asia Trophy this week.

"I feel I am versatile," he told the Express & Star. “Throughout my career, even when I was young, I've played along the front, left and right, up top or just in behind. So I don't mind, as long as I'm playing. I enjoy playing football and that's all I want to do."

After the shock of triple sessions in Austria, Rodriguez is enjoying getting back onto the pitch, and he's settling in well.

“It was lovely to get off the mark," he said. “I found myself in a little pocket, a pass from Jake (Livermore), I saw the goal, hit it and luckily it went in. I'm really pleased with it.

“The players we've got in the squad, the young lads as well, they're all looking sharp, fit and it's great to be a part of. You can see the quality in training, it's a good place to be."
