The Ireland international has been playing well for the Baggies since leaving Celtic Park in January.

Sincerely, Mikey Johnston acknowledges that Celtic’s overabundance of wide players led to his loan move to West Brom at the end of January.

With Brendan Rodgers possessing a multitude of offensive options on the sides, the winger went south to the English Championship in the closing hours of the transfer window. The addition of £3 million player Nicolas Kuhn from Rapid Vienna proved to be too much, since the team also had James Forrest, Luis Palma, Yang, Liel Abada, and Daizen Maeda. Marco Tilio also left mid-season to take a loan back to Melbourne City.

Ireland international Johnston has scored three goals since joining the Hawthorns, including a spectacular goal against Coventry last weekend that increased the Baggies’ chances of qualifying for the playoffs. West Brom supporters have called for the 24-year-old’s contract to be extended at the end of the current campaign due to his impressive play.

Johnston also acknowledges that with so many players in the same position at Parkhead, including Kuhn’s arrival, he would find it difficult to receive opportunities. When asked by Sky Sports if he needed to put his attention away from Celtic and concentrate on regular game time, Johnston replied, “Yeah, look, it was just a game time thing.”

It was always going to be difficult for me to get the minutes I wanted and to build on last year, but I wanted to advance my career because I am getting older and this felt like a nice step for me. Everything was arranged between two clubs, so it was quite seamless. “I think at the end we had eight wingers.”
