QUEVIN CASTRO
We have completed the signing of West Bromwich
Albion’s Quevin Castro on loan until 8 January...
— THE PORTUGUESE attacking midfielder
began his career on the English non-league
circuit before joining Ipswich’s academy and
earning trials with the likes of Chelsea and
Arsenal.
He signed a two-year deal with the
Baggies last summer and established
himself as a regular in WBA’s development
squad, playing 90 minutes against Arsenal
in the EFL Cup and coming off the bench
in their Sky Bet Championship matches
against Swansea and Reading.
This season Castro has spent time on
loan in League One with Burton Albion and
our head coach Luke Williams believes he’s
someone who fits our style of play while
also offering something new to the squad.
“From what we’ve seen, Quev has all
the tools to do what we ask our attacking
players to do without the ball,” said
Williams.
“He’s rangy and athletic, which means
he’s got the tools to step on to people very
quickly and win the ball back.
“We feel he’s a bit different to our other
options – he has a different physical stance
and offers some real imagination in the final

third. But he’s not going to walk into this
team – far from it. We have the likes of Jim
O’Brien and Sam Austin who have been
contributing brilliantly in that advanced
midfield positon, and they’re going to
provide very strong competition as well.”
Castro added: “Working hard for the
team out of possession is a big part of my
game and if I can get on the same page as
some of the other attacking players in the
team, we’ll have a lot of fun.
“It’s always a great feeling when the fans
respond to a trick or piece of skill, but first
and foremost I want to be part of the team
and earn my team-mates’ respect before
showing that side of my game.
“I can see that this team will help me
get a lot of opportunities in the final third
– whether that’s to create or score – and
that’s a real positive about coming here.
“Under the gaffer I can already tell I’m
going to learn a lot. He’s very detailed in
terms of where he wants me to be in and
out of possession and, as a young lad,
I think that’s what I need.
“I’m very excited to kick on and show
how hard I’m willing to work for the club.”
