Tom Fellows, the 21-year-old winger from West Brom, has been making waves in the Championship with his standout performances, already contributing to 40 per cent of their league goals with four assists. His impressive form earned him a call-up to the England Under-21 side in early September, where he made his debut and scored his first U21 goal in a friendly match against Austria.
Reflecting on his experience with the national team, Fellows shared that it was nerve-wracking at first but ultimately a great learning opportunity to train alongside players at such high levels. He expressed gratitude for the chance to play and prove himself under the guidance of West Brom manager Carlos Corberan, whose detail-oriented approach has been instrumental in his development.
Heading into their upcoming game against Sheffield Wednesday, West Brom sits at the top of the Championship table with five wins and a draw from their first six matches. After falling short in the play-off semi-finals last season, Fellows and his teammates are motivated to go one step further and secure promotion this time around.
The young winger emphasized the competitive nature of the Championship, noting that the real challenge often begins around Christmas. Despite their strong start to the season, Fellows understands the long road ahead and the importance of maintaining consistency to achieve their ultimate goal of promotion.
Looking ahead, Fellows remains optimistic about the team’s prospects and is driven by the desire to achieve success with his boyhood club. The disappointment of last season’s playoff exit serves as a constant reminder of the work that lies ahead and fuels their determination to succeed this time around. For Fellows, reaching the pinnacle with the club he has grown up in would be the ultimate achievement.
