The Albion captain has made over 170 appearances in his five years with the Club and has scored seven goals.

Karlan Grant
Former Town player Karlan Grant made the move from the John Smith’s Stadium to the Midlands in October 2020. The striker joined the Terriers from Charlton Athletic in 2019, where he stayed for 18 months.
