Albion’s head of medical services, Adam Brett, said: “It was a great honour and privilege to receive the Championship medical and science team award for the 2016/17 season at the recent Football Medical Association Conference and Dinner.

“This is always a very tough category, as there are some fantastic medical departments and staff throughout the Championship.

“It is really with huge gratitude that I was able to receive the award with a few colleagues from our team, on behalf of all our medics, sports scientists and strength coaches that work tireless day-in-day-out for the club – always striving to achieve the best provision of service for our chairman, manager and players.

“This really does top off a fantastic season both personally from the medical department, but also in light of the incredible achievement the club has accomplished in promotion to the Premier League.
