West Brom goalkeeper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ben-Foster-c7445 says that he has ‘never been happier’ than he is now at his hometown with his new club.
The former Birmingham man spent last campaign on a season long loan spell at the Hawthorns, and became a commanding and reliable figure at the back. The goalkeeper was instrumental in West Brom’s 10th place finish in the league.
The player was signed on a permanent deal this summer and became manager Steve Clarke’s first signing of the season. Having put pen to paper, Foster looked delighted as he committed his long-term future to the Baggies.
The player kept up his reliable and impressive form, helping West Brom become a force at home. Foster has only conceded 2 goals in the league so far in home games, and has also been very strong on the road.
West Brom have enjoyed their best start to a season so far, and currently stand at 6th spot, tied to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonas-c18967 Olsson and midfielder James Morrison on new long-term
deals, ending speculation about their future.
Foster was delighted when the club announced the new deals, and believes their long term planning and stability will be the key factor in their Premier League success this season, and in seasons to come.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 international, who kept 10 clean sheets last season and was voted the club’s Player of the Year, feels that he made the right decision when he signed for the club.
“I'm a Midlands person, I'm back at home and I've never been happier," Foster told the club's official website.
"I definitely don't regret anything in my career. I never once regret what I've done in the past - everything happens for a reason. You learn from it and it makes you a stronger person on a football pitch.”
"I learned that at a club like United it's very cut throat, succeed-at-all costs, but you come away from it as a stronger person."
West Brom take on Manchester City at home once the league resumes this weekend. Both the manager and the players know they are in for a real fight as they prepare to host the English champions at the Hawthorns.
