West Brom goalkeeper Sam Johnstone admits he still does extra training away from the club.

As a youngster Johnstone would spend countless evenings and weekends working on his abilities with his father, Glenn, who had a brief career in the professional game with Preston North End in the early 1990s.

"I started off playing Sunday League at about eight years old," Johnstone told Sky Sports. "I was a defender and we never had a proper goalie. One day it was my turn to go in goal and I enjoyed it, so I just stayed in goal. I knew my Dad had played and he said to me, 'If you're going to stay in goal I'll help you and let's do it properly, not half-heartedly.' And I loved it, we'd be out in the garden every night in the summer, down the park at a weekends, just practising. He was a massive help.

"People may not realise how important family are to players in helping them achieve what they need to in order to make it, whether that's missing out on stuff as a kid or wanting to do extra. I still do extra away from the club now and I'm 27 years old."
