West Brom make approach for Andy Lonergan

West Brom have made an approach for Andy Lonergan, as per a report by The Athletic. 

West Brom are keen to bring the experienced goalkeeper back to the Hawthorns as back-up for the upcoming campaign.

Lonergan, who is 37-years-old, spent the second-half of last season with the Baggies after joining them on a short-term contract in the January transfer window.

He was released by Middlesbrough in 2019 and has since also had spells at Rochdale, Liverpool and Stoke City.

He then had a year at Leeds United before Bolton Wanderers snapped him up in 2012.

Thoughts? 

Lonergan is a safe pair of hands and you can’t really argue against West Brom trying to bring him back.

He is a vastly experienced player and will be good to have in and around the dressing room.

If he is called upon to play he would do a job.

West Brom have a big season ahead of them under new boss Valerien Ismael and will be hoping for an immediate return to the Premier League.
