Darren Moore hopes Albion’s young players can use their Emirates FA Cup experience to launch long-lasting professional careers.
Morgan Rogers, who is just 16, stepped off the bench to make his first-team debut alongside fellow Academy products Rayhaan Tulloch, Rekeem Harper and Sam Field, as the Baggies were beaten 3-1 by Brighton in extra-time at The Hawthorns.
And Moore says the teenagers should be “proud” of their contributions to this year’s FA Cup campaign.
