Ghana striker Brandon Thomas-Asante aims at building on the twelve goals he bagged for Championship side West Brom last season as he hopes to set new record in the 2024/25 season.
Brandon scored Albion’s goal in their training game against Bolton Wanderers at St. George’s Park last Saturday afternoon.
The striker was pleased to find the net so early on in pre-season and says he’ll be setting his standards even higher this time around after winning the top scorer award at Albion in the previous two campaigns.
“It was nice to start off with a goal on Saturday in our friendly with Bolton at St. George’s Park. said Asante.
“You can learn plenty of things from these fixtures and I’d say I probably could have got another goal. I’ll always be hard on myself and never just accept average.
“It was great to be back out there on the pitch with the boys. There were lots of good performances, especially given the stage of pre-season we’re at.
“We’ve been training so much since we’ve returned and it’s been intense, so it was great to have a game on Saturday. We’ve got another few days of sessions ahead of us here at St. George’s Park, but there’s another game to look forward to on Saturday here.
“I’ve got a few mates who play at Peterborough so it’ll be good to see them and hopefully I can get on the scoresheet again.
“I’m really grateful to have won the top goalscorer award last season and it was really exciting to do so.
“I’ve managed to do it twice in-a-row now and I was able to better 2022/23’s tally in 2023/24, which I was pleased about. It’s always encouraging.
“I know there was criticism regarding not scoring more goals and as a striker you have to take that on the chin, but nobody knows I could have scored more, more than myself. Nobody sets higher standards for me than myself and I’m always driving myself forward to improve in all aspects of my game.
“The target for this year will be to build on last season.”
