Former West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Pulis has revealed that James Morrison's success at the club came as no surprise to him. Pulis, who managed the Baggies between 2015 and 2017, worked closely with the Scottish midfielder and always believed in his abilities.
Pulis Praises Morrison's Professionalism
Pulis highlighted Morrison's dedication and work ethic as key factors in his consistent performances. "James was a top professional," Pulis said. "He always gave his best in training and matches, and that's why he achieved so much at West Brom." Morrison, who joined West Brom in 2007, made over 300 appearances for the club, scoring 35 goals and providing numerous assists.
A Key Player Under Pulis
During Pulis's tenure, Morrison was a crucial part of the squad, often playing in central midfield. Pulis noted that Morrison's ability to read the game and his technical skills made him invaluable. "He had a great football brain and could always find space. He was a joy to manage," Pulis added.
Morrison's time at West Brom was marked by several memorable moments, including helping the club secure Premier League survival and reaching the League Cup semi-finals. Despite injuries later in his career, Morrison remained a fan favorite for his commitment and creativity.
Pulis's comments come as Morrison continues his playing career, having left West Brom in 2019. The former manager believes that Morrison's success was built on hard work and natural talent, making his achievements at the Hawthorns entirely predictable.
