Reyes Cleary returned to U21 action on Monday night after a seven-month absence through injury in an impressive display.
At just 19 years old, Reyes Cleary is still an incredibly exciting player that West Brom will be keen on implementing into their first team soon.
A former England under 19 international, Cleary was believed to be bursting with potential, which Carlos Corberan will be eager to get him back to.
Cleary has been out since April, recovering from a hamstring injury that he sustained in a youth game against Derby County.
Now though he is back in the youth set-up and many are expecting he will soon be challenging the senior team for places, especially with the creativity of the technical Grady Diangana crying out for a clinical striker.
Cleary returns to action
Cleary was back in action on Monday night as West Brom took on Reading. The 19-year-old was involved heavily.
According to Birmingham Live reporter Joseph Chapman, Cleary had success too.
“Cleary produced the best moment of the first half for the Baggies when he cut inside from the left and forced a smart stop out of opposing goalkeeper Harvey Collins,”.
We doubt that he will be rushed back to regular minutes never mind a first-team appearance. But we are sure that Corberan will have his eyes firmly on the forward who would link up delightfully with the likes of Grady Diangana.
Clearly he has the scoring touch
In his career at all levels from U18 upwards, Cleary boasts a devastating scoring record. 52 goals in 68 games show that naturally, he is a goalscorer and one which the Baggies should be very excited about.
Deployable across the front four, Cleary is a player Corberan could utilise right now, and if he continues to perform as he did on his return, we don’t think it’ll be long until he is back to his best and pushing for a senior call up.
