Despite his inability to consistently contribute to the Hoops, the academy product has made 92 appearances for the Premiership team he began his career with. He moved on loan in January to West Brom in the English Championship, as minutes under appeared to be restricted.

He will remain at the Hawthorns until the end of the season but already Baggies fans are desperate to see him stick around. He has dazzled with six goals in nine games, and it has now resulted in speculation in what comes next.
