Matt Phillips saluted the togetherness in Albion's camp as the first week of pre-season training came to a close.
The Baggies, fresh from their summer break, reported back for duty on Monday morning and have since been put through a series of physically challenging sessions in preparation for the 2019/20 Sky Bet Championship campaign.
And Matt has been impressed with the effort and determination shown by the players throughout what has been a gruelling return to action.
“The boys here are really close,” said Phillips.
“Ever since I have been here it has always been a good bunch of lads and I think that the boys that then came in since have added to that and that sort of continuity has remained.
