The Doncaster native advanced through Leeds United’s academy system before making his debut in the first squad at an early age.

After that, he participated in 125 games for the Whites before moving to Barnsley in 2016.

Before joining the Baggies, Mowatt spent five years at Oakwell, including a stint out on loan at Oxford United.

He took some time to get used to life at West Brom and was loaned to Middlesbrough a few years back.

Since then, Corberan has given him newfound motivation, and he is currently playing some of his finest football.

What now?

West Brom is unbeaten after winning five of their first six games.

They will play again on Saturday away from Sheffield Wednesday in an attempt to maintain their current momentum.
