West Brom boss Irvine impressed by youngster Bradley Garmston

West Bromwich Albion boss Alan Irvine is delighted with what he's seen in preseason from left-back Bradley Garmston.

Garmston announced his arrival on the senior scene with a thunderbolt of a goal in Tuesday's 3-2 friendly defeat at Port Vale.

Irvine said: "I had every intention of leaving Brad on for 90 minutes but his hamstring was tightening up so I had to take him off.

"I think that it's really important that you have young players that can make a squad bigger.

"You wouldn't want to be relying on too many young players too soon, but certainly having them around is good. That's why it's been really good to have them come out here."
