Ghana forward Brandon Thomas-Asante has bid a heartfelt farewell to West Bromwich Albion as he prepares for his imminent departure from the club.
The 25-year-old striker has reportedly agreed to terms with Coventry City, with the official announcement of his signing expected soon.
Thomas-Asante’s decision to move to Coventry City follows a series of recent developments, including undergoing medicals with the club. Reports indicate that he turned down Hull City, despite significant interest from various teams.
Coventry’s successful pitch was bolstered by former Ghana assistant coach George Boateng, now a first-team coach at Coventry, who played a key role in persuading Thomas-Asante to join.
In an emotional statement posted on his Instagram, Thomas-Asante reflected on his time at West Bromwich Albion:
“Baggies,
It’s been under two years, but the love I felt will stay with me for a lifetime.
From scoring on my debut to now only feels like days have passed, but seasons change and it’s time to take this step onwards now. Knowing that I have contributed all the commitment and value I could to you all in the circumstances, achieving a strong league position, does give me peace.
Some of the moments which stand out to me include the goals against Stoke and Bristol. I do wish there were more of them, but our mission and approach, at times, felt that other aspects of my game were prioritized. That being said, I hope both the special moments and my commitment to the team may stay in your minds.
I’m honored to have had the opportunity to play with amazing players and work with incredible individuals—from the catering team, media, and laundry staff to the physio, sports science staff, wellbeing staff, and coaching staff. I cherish my connection with the Hawthorns crowd, and it was an absolute honor to be the top scorer in my two seasons here.

Going forward, I hope the fans can be fulfilled as the club continues on this trajectory, returning to the heights you all desire and deserve. Thanks for the memories and for welcoming my family to be a part of that chapter.
All the best, BTA.”
Thomas-Asante’s departure marks the end of a notable stint at West Bromwich Albion, where he made a significant impact by scoring 11 goals and providing two assists last season.
As he prepares for his new challenge at Coventry City, both clubs and fans will remember his contributions and eagerly await his next chapter.
