Socceroos midfielder finds new club in England

2022-09-13T06:30+10:00

Tom Rogic has joined English Championship club West Bromwich Albion.

The Australian international has found his way to the Baggies following a successful stint with Scottish champions Celtic.

Rogic, 29, has committed to the West Midlands side on a one-year deal with the option of a further year, pending international clearance.

The 53-time Socceroo will now play under Steve Bruce at The Hawthorns where he will tune up for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar later this year.

“I heard about the club’s interest in me about a week ago, I spoke with the manager, who seems like a really good guy, and I spoke with my agent and here we are,” Rogic told WBA.co.uk.

“I was looking for a change of scenery and a fresh challenge. I didn’t just want to rush into anything. I think it was important for me to take my time and make sure my next club was the right club. I had some time to reflect and I now feel refreshed and re-energised and excited about the future. I’m really looking forward to getting started at Albion.

“I think it’s fair to say the team hasn’t got the results the performances have warranted so far this season. I know that the manager and the boys are looking to change that as quickly as possible.”

Rogic enjoyed a trophy-laden stint with Celtic between 2013 and 2022, helping the Hoops win 16 pieces of silverware including six Scottish titles.

He will now suit up for West Brom who currently sit 16th of 24 teams in England’s second tier.
