Jason Steele will lead Albion out against Norwich City in the FA Cup on Saturday.

The goalkeeper has made just four appearances in all competitions this season, although his head coach Fabian Hurzeler has been delighted with the 34-year-old’s leadership in the dressing room.

“Jason will play in goal,” Hurzeler said in his press conference on Thursday. “Jason is one of my leaders, although he's not been playing as much.

“This guy is unbelievable and such a great character. He is always supportive. He always tries to give everything for the success of the club, he's not selfish.

“He's really pushing Bart Verbruggen to be his best. He tries to help him in bad periods and it's something I haven’t experience so far in the football business.

“That's why I'm really happy that he now has the opportunity to play against Norwich and that he's the captain for this team.”
