Matt O’Riley signed for Albion from Celtic in August 2024, joining on a five-year contract.
Born in London, to a Danish mother and English father, Matt began his career with Fulham, where he spent 11 years having joined them at the age of eight.
He made one senior appearance in the EFL Cup, before making the move to MK Dons in January 2021, where he made an instant impact at Stadium MK.
A year later he was on the move again after an impressive 49 games and ten goals in League One prompted Celtic to pay a significant fee to take him to Celtic Park.
In two and a half years at Celtic, he played more than 100 times, and scored 27 goals, helping the club win the Scottish Premiership three times, including a domestic treble in 2023 and a league and cup double last season, when he was voted Celtic’s Player of the Season.
He swept the board at the club’s awards in 2023/24, also winning Players’ Player and Young Player of the Season, as well as being nominated in the PFA’s Scottish Premiership team of the season.
After sustaining a serious ankle injury six minutes into his Albion debut in a Carabao Cup match against Crawley Town, the midfielder made a goalscoring return in November 2024 when he netted the winner in a 2-1 victory over Manchester City.
At international level he represented England at under-16, under-18 and under-21 level, before opting to play for Denmark at senior level and made his debut in November 2023.
