Carlos Corberan outlines critical step forward from West Brom's Mikey Johnston
Albion boss Carlos Corberan has claimed loan star Mikey Johnston made a critical step in his development with 90 minutes against Bristol City last time out.
Six-goal winger Johnston’s red-hot form since checking in from Celtic has re-ignited Albion’s play-off push.
Johnston’s full game against the Robins was his first since last May, a penultimate appearance for previous loan club Vitoria Guimaraes in Portugal. He has since been a regular substitute, off or on, for parent club Celtic and nation Republic of Ireland, with whom he aims to win a ninth cap in a friendly with Belgium today (5pm).
“He has done something very positive, the first time since he is here he played the full game,” Corberan said. “It was a long time since he played a full game.
