Scottish international gets new deal James Morrison has become the latest Albion player to committee his future to the club by signing a new three-year contract – back in February!  The former Middlesbrough man penned a new deal six months ago but wanted to concentrate on returning to full fitness after his injury nightmare.  Despite his lack on injury practice back at the start of the year, Scotland international Morrison was more than happy to sign a new deal after receiving the backing of the club.  “I wanted to ensure I was over my injury when I signed it,” the skilful midfielder said.  "But it's quite settling to know that a club wants you to be part of their future. "I was more than happy to sign it because I'm really happy at West Brom." "As you get older, you mature both as a person and footballer," said Morrison. "I think I'm happier now than I've ever been and I will probably think about settling in the Birmingham area. "You obviously never know how football will go - there might be a manager here one day who wants something different. "But while it's my choice, I'm happy to stay. "I like the club and I love playing at The Hawthorns and the atmosphere that's created by our fans. "You sometimes go to a stadium and there's no noise - but it's compact at West Brom. "It's good to play here."
