Albion set to reward Campbell with new contract

West Brom captain Campbell is close to agreeing a new contract to reward his strong performances this season.

West Bromwich Albion captain George Campbell is set to be rewarded with a new contract after impressing for the club this season. The 25-year-old centre-back has started 12 of Albion's 14 Championship games plus both EFL Cup ties, and the Baggies have taken just one point from the two league games he did not start.

Head coach James Morrison confirmed talks are underway and praised Campbell's performances. "I understand there's been talks over a contract which is pleasing. I think he deserved it," Morrison said. "I want George to keep concentrating on his football. I think he's got a few years left on his contract as well, so it's credit for the club to recognise his performances and reward him for his good play."

Campbell, a United States international, signed a four-year deal when he arrived from MLS side Montreal in July 2025 and made 41 appearances in all competitions last season. He will miss Saturday's match against Millwall with a groin injury sustained in Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Southampton, expected to be sidelined for 10 to 12 days.
