“Derby County’s Loss Becomes West Brom’s Gain: Joe Wildsmith Joins the Baggies
In a move that caught many by surprise, Derby County goalkeeper Joe Wildsmith announced his departure from the club on May 18, 2024, after his contract expired. Wildsmith’s exit marked the end of an era for the Rams, with the goalkeeper playing a crucial role in helping the team regain promotion to the EFL Championship during his two-season stint.
Wildsmith’s impressive performances earned him a move to West Bromwich Albion, where he has signed a two-year deal. The 28-year-old goalkeeper made his debut for West Brom in a 2-1 away defeat against Fleetwood Town in the EFL Cup first round and later made his league debut in a 2-1 win at home against his boyhood club Sheffield Wednesday.
“Joining West Bromwich Albion is a great opportunity for me, and I’m excited to be a part of this team,” Wildsmith said in an interview. With his impressive skills between the posts, Wildsmith aims to help the Baggies secure a spot in the Premier League.
While bidding farewell to Derby County, Wildsmith expressed gratitude towards the club and its supporters, thanking them for their unwavering support during his tenure. His departure has left a void in the Rams’ goalkeeping department, but the club is expected to find suitable replacements to fill the gap.”
