West Bromwich Albion boss Bryan Robson has backed midfielder Jason Koumas to be a hit after finally settling his differences with the club.

Koumas made his first appearance for the Baggies in more than 18 months as a substitute in the 2-0 win over Leicester City and Robson was pleased to have the Wales international back in the fold.

He said: "At the end of the day, Jason is now back as a player for the Albion.

"He's back in the first-team fold and I'm sure the fans will take to him again because he's got great ability.

"He can pass the ball well, he's got great vision and he'll only get better because he's only been back in training and is bound to get stronger."
