Recent West Bromwich Albion signing Marcus Haber is happy to bide his time to try and make an impact at The Hawthorns.

The 21-year-old Canadian striker has joined the Baggies from Vancouver Whitecaps and is seen as one for the future by Albion boss Roberto Di Matteo.

Haber told the Express & Star: "The club were pretty straightforward with me from day one. They said that if I was given the opportunity that they would take me seriously and work to improve me as a young player.

"They've been pretty up front that, yes, I'm a project and I might not be in the first team right away. But I've just come here to work really hard and see where it takes me.

"Patience is something every young player should have, because you just don't know when your time is going to come.

"I'm just trying to come here with an open mind, work hard and see where I get from week to week. It's a good opportunity for me and I just want to take it in my stride."
