Having been at West Bromwich Albion for a long time now, Chris Brunt deserves some recognition for his work at the club.
West Bromwich Albion are not a side that have produced a great deal of world-class players over the years, and while that is not intended as a knock to them, it is the truth.
Now while he may not be world-class, Chris Brunt has certainly proved time and time again during his tenure at the club that he deserves to receive more acclaim in the world of football.
Brunt’s work both on and off the ball has kept the Baggies ticking along nicely for years now, and despite relinquishing the captaincy a few years back he is still the spiritual leader of the squad in many ways.
Whether it is a thunderous finish, a pinpoint pass or bringing others into the game Brunt has perfected his midfield role and the Northern Irishman is the definition of an underrated star in the making.
Having been at The Hawthorns for nearly a decade now, his service to the team really does go under the radar.
Brunt has represented club and country at the highest level for the majority of his career and it is no coincidence that West Brom have managed to continually maintain their place in the Premier League with him in the side.
Consistency is key and that is exactly what Brunt brings. Nothing too flamboyant or flashy – just solid.
