Former West Brom favourite Salomon Rondon looks back fondly on his time at the club

Former West Bromwich Albion favourite Salomon Rondon has looked back fondly on his time at the club in an interview with The Athletic and is appreciative of the chance he was given to play in the Premier League.

Rondon now plies his trade in the Chinese Super League for Dalian Professional under former Newcastle United boss Rafael Benitez.

However, he claims he enjoyed himself at the Hawthorns working under then boss Tony Pulis and admitted that playing in the top flight of English football was always a dream.

“I’m very thankful to Tony Pulis,” Rondon said. “I’d always enjoyed the Premier League because of how physical it is. I love that contact with big defenders, the fight, and West Brom gave me the chance to play in the best league in the world.”

“I really liked Birmingham. I learned English with a teacher and everything was fantastic, the atmosphere, the food. The fans were really supportive. The disappointment was how my last season ended.”

The Venezuelan international scored 28 goals in a three-year spell at the Hawthorns including 24 goals in the Premier League although he wishes he had been able to prevent them getting relegated.

“We did the wrong things to stay in the division, some players didn’t want to stay, we didn’t start pre-season very well. Many things. It was no good and we went down.”

Rondon was always a favourite with the Baggies faithful due to his infectious smile and personality and will always be well regarded by the supporters of the Midlands club.
