Nicky Shorey<\/a> has hailed the progress made by the club\u2019s Academy graduates on their pre-season tour of the United States.<\/p>\nMidfielders George Thorne and Sam Mantom, defender Paul Downing and striker Chris Wood have all signed professional contracts with the club, been awarded first-team squad numbers and have also been part of Albion\u2019s 26-man squad for their two-week training camp.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
The experienced full-back Shorey believes that the experience will be invaluable for their development as footballers.<\/p>\nHe told the club\u2019s official website: “We’ve got some good young players coming through.<\/p>\n
“That’s hopefully the next generation for West Brom. They’ve all got good attitudes and they’re all good footballers in their own right.<\/p>\n
“Hopefully this experience will only help them in their careers. I think it is a good thing to get the youngsters integrated into the first team with the senior players.”<\/p>\n
While Shorey thinks the four have differing strengths, they have all impressed the former Reading man with their professional approach.<\/p>\n
“They’ve all got their different qualities and they’ve all impressed me in the way they conduct themselves with the senior players.<\/p>\n
“They’re very respectful but they’re not over-awed.<\/p>\n
“They mix in well and I think that is credit to the coaching staff who have worked with them.<\/p>\n
“They have shown them the right ways on and off the pitch.”<\/p>\n
The Baggies tour has seen them lose one game against San Jose Earthquakes but win their subsequent two fixtures against Ventura County Fusion and Portland Timbers.
