West Brom Star Harry Whitwell on Breakthrough, James Morrison's Advice, and Promotion Hopes

West Bromwich Albion midfielder Harry Whitwell says he is 'living his dream' after breaking into the first team this season. The 19-year-old, who joined the Baggies at age 11, has impressed since pre-season and earned the trust of interim manager James Morrison. Whitwell credits Morrison, a former Albion player, with giving him crucial advice on handling the step up to senior football. 'He told me to keep doing what I'm doing, stay humble, and work hard every day,' Whitwell said. The youngster has also been learning Norwegian, a nod to his Scandinavian heritage, which he says helps him connect with teammates and fans. With West Brom pushing for promotion back to the Premier League, Whitwell believes the squad has the quality and togetherness to achieve their goal. 'We've got a great group, and we're all pulling in the same direction,' he said. Whitwell's emergence is a boost for the club's academy and a sign of a bright future at The Hawthorns. As the season enters its crucial final stretch, all eyes will be on whether the Baggies can secure a top-flight return—and whether Whitwell can continue his rapid rise.
