West Brom’s Thomas praises maturity of Mattock

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Mon, 11/09/2009 - 07:34

West Brom winger Jerome Thomas heaped praise on his teenage teammate Joey Mattock for the way he handled himself during the 2-1 win over Leicester City on Saturday.

19-year old Mattock was asked to leave City last summer and signed with the Baggies during the off-season but was calm and composed on his return to Walkers Stadium according to Thomas.

“You’ve got to remember that Joey’s only 19,” Thomas said

“People move on, your career goes on, you just have to be professional and he was. Now he has to take the lads out for a meal — the rule if you beat your old team.”

The win put West Brom four points clear of third-placed Cardiff City and within two of league leaders Newcastle.
