Galloway reflects on ‘tough’ loan spell at West Brom

Defender Brendan Galloway has lifted the lid on his frustrations after a ‘tough’ season on loan at West Brom.

The 21-year-old spent much of the season on loan from Everton at The Hawthorns.

But while he moved to the west Midlands to gain first team experience, he was restricted to just five games in all competitions.

And Galloway says he is pleased to be back at Goodison Park and is looking ahead to next season with Everton.

He said: “It was a tough season and I learned a lot. I experienced something different but now I’m happy to be back.

“It was frustrating [not to play more games] but I learnt a different style of football. As a young footballer, you need to learn other aspects to your game. I learnt how to deal with not playing, which was very hard, but I’m happy to be back here.

“It was a tough year but walking back into Finch Farm and seeing all the lads has really made me happy. Now you’ve experienced something else, you realise there is nothing like Everton.”

Galloway moved to Everton from MK Dons in 2014, and has since made 21 senior appearances for the club, including 19 in all competitions during the 2015-16 campaign.
