Tomer Hemed has returned to the club as a mentor in the academy.

The former striker will be working with the professional development phase and youth development phase teams.

Academy manager Ian Buckman said, “Tomer is incredibly well thought of both inside the club and by our supporters. As a mentor, he will bring vast experience and know-how that players throughout the age groups can tap into.

"He adds to the group of former players who have returned here to work in the academy. Having that understanding of the club's expectations and how we operate will be incredibly beneficial to the department.”

The 37-year-old joined Albion in June 2015 from Almeria, scoring 11 league goals during our promotion-winning campaign from the Championship in 2017.

In total he scored 33 goals in 108 appearances for us, his last goal securing a 1-0 win over Newcastle United in September 2017.

After departing the Amex, he went onto play for Charlton Athletic, A-League sides Wellington Phoenix and Western Sydney Wanderers, before returning to Israel to play for Hapoel Be’er Sheva and Maccabi Haifa.
