Adam Webster has said Jack Hinshelwood took to first team football like a duck to water.

The 20-year-old has shown his flexibility since breaking into the first team last season, by playing in midfield and defence before starting up front on the final day of the season against Tottenham and netting twice to make it eight goals in 49 appearances.

Jack, the son of former Albion defender Adam, was given the chance to show what he could offer by Roberto De Zerbi in late 2022 when Albion headed to Dubai during the World Cup break.

“A lot of the under-21s came and he was the youngest one – and he was the best one," said Webster.

“We knew then he was going be a player. The maturity that he shows, he's played so many different positions and never looked out of place. He’s played a lot at full-back. Centre-midfield is obviously his position but he played up top [against Tottenham] and he did really well.

“His goal ratio is incredible for how many appearances he's made, it really is amazing. He's still so young and he's got so much potential. We're lucky to have him."
