FOOTAGE of Albion's most recent recruit training as a youth player have emerged online, impressing fans.
The clips of the club's latest starlet, Taylor Richards, show the player bewildering opponents with some lightning-fast footwork.
Albion announced the signing of Richards from Manchester City for an undisclosed fee yesterday.
The 18-year-old has won three caps for England under-17s and became a regular in City’s under-23s last season.
Following his signing, Albion technical director Dan Ashworth said: “Taylor is an exciting young talent.
"He has already played for England at junior levels and pre-season will be a great opportunity for us to see his ability at first hand.
“He is keen to play senior football, so that is the first challenge for him – alongside the other group of younger players – with a longer-term aim to continue the progress he has already made with Manchester City.”
His former mentors at coaching company Furious Football Diaries, who released the videos, said: "Taylor is a player we have worked with on our youth channel for some years now.
"In that time he has demonstrated his touch, quick feet, flair, dribbling and confidence on the ball."
The company says it has also worked with the likes of Jadon Sancho, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Reiss Nelson, Demarai Gray and Tammy Abraham.
