Sam Baldock has returned to the club as pathway development coach.

The former striker made 94 appearances for Albion, scoring 20 goals, 11 of which came during promotion season to the Premier League.

His new role sees him work with pathway development manager Gordon Greer, looking after and reporting on our players out on loan.

The 35-year-old said, “I am delighted to be back at the club, I am excited and grateful for the opportunity. The Albion holds a special place in my heart.

“I am looking forward to working with and helping the next generation of players at the club on their pathway to hopefully representing the club one day.”

Greer added, “Sam's role will see him mentoring the players out on loan, giving them feedback on their games and his opinion on where they can improve.

“An important part of that is to go and see the players and making sure that they're happy, settled and ensuring they have that contact with the club.

“I am really pleased to have him back here, he's a top guy and I'm sure he'll be excellent in the role.”

Sam’s playing career saw him turnout for the likes of MK Dons, Bristol City and Reading, before hanging up his boots last year after a season-and-a-half with Oxford United.
