Romaine Sawyers has avoided the champagne celebrations and opted for quiet reflection as he begins preparing for Premier League football.
Albion’s “homeboy” came back to The Hawthorns last year with the specific ambition of tasting promotion with the club of his childhood.
But while his team-mates enjoyed a noisy celebration of last week’s final and triumphant chapter, Romaine opted for a quieter salute to our return to the Premier League.
“I have just spent time with my family,” says the midfielder, a former Academy graduate whose senior career developed at Walsall and Brentford before he was recruited for last season’s challenge.
