Jason Steele has paid tribute to Pascal Gross after the German departed for Borussia Dortmund.

The midfielder spent seven years with Albion, making 261 appearances and becoming a key figure in the dressing room.

Jason became close with Pascal during their time together at the club and while disappointed to see his teammate leave, ultimately the goalkeeper can completely understand Pascal’s decision to join his boyhood club.

“The camp was really happy [for him], but also really sad,” Jason said. “Pascal is one of the best friends I've made in football.

“When I spoke to him and he told me about the opportunity, I totally got it. But then selfishly I didn't want him to leave.

“He's really good, one of the best players I've ever played with, without a shadow of a doubt. He will be a massive, massive loss.

“What we as a team and what the club should remember is what he gave for us, he was extraordinary. He went above and beyond every single week for the team and for the lads. He'll be a legend forever.”
