The goalkeeper has been a West Brom player since his permanent move in 2012.

England international Ben Foster has admitted that he would like to end his career at his current club West Brom, speaking to the Express and Star.

The goalkeeper first joined the club on loan in 2011, and then made his move permanent the following year, having spent a lot of his career on loan at different clubs.

However, the former England goalkeeper is now fully settled at Albion and has admitted his desire to remain at the Hawthorns.

“This is the club I would like finish my career at,” Foster told the Express and Star.

The 33-year-old played in the Baggies’ previous game at the Stadium of Light, which was Foster’s 150th appearance in a West Brom shirt.

“I was really happy to make my 150th appearance for the club against Sunderland,” he added.

“I hope that there is another 150 to come to be honest with you.”

The goalkeeper has been a key figure at West Brom since he arrived at the club, proving to be one of the most consistent stoppers in the league, and was always ready to be called upon when Tony Pulis’ stubborn defence is breached.

As well as 150 appearances for West Brom, Foster has also been capped eight times for England.

Foster has another two years to run on his current contract, which would make him 35 when his deal expires, but the former Manchester United keeper will surely play on for longer than that, and will be hoping he is rewarded with a new deal for his services to West Brom.
