Everyone wants to know what the future holds for Tom Fellows at West Brom, and the impressive Baggies starlet has finally discussed his career prospects… sort of.

West Brom had a mixed season this year, with early promise under Tony Mowbray making way for disappointment in the end.

Mowbray was sacked and the Baggies ended the season in ninth place, four points off the Championship play-offs, leaving fans to lament another missed opportunity.

While West Brom search for a new manager over the summer — with Dave Challinor the latest to be linked — we turn our attention today to how Tom Fellows feels about his career.

What Tom Fellows said about his career

Fellows was West Brom’s shining light throughout the 2024/25 campaign, bagging four goals and a division-high 14 assists to become the club’s Young Player of the Year.

It goes without saying, then, that Fellows is one of the best players in the Championship at the moment, but what if he wasn’t a footballer at all?

The 21-year-old was asked exactly that by a student in a recent visit to Blackwood Primary School, and his response was rather funny, to say the least.

He said: “I always look at the postman’s job and I think, seriously, they start in the morning and then they’re done pretty early.”

It was then suggested that would be “pretty similar” to his current working schedule, to which Fellows replied, “Exactly, there wouldn’t be much change.”

With the way Fellows has been delivering assists all season, he would probably be pretty good at being a postman, too.

Will Tom Fellows leave West Brom this summer?

In all seriousness now, the future is unclear for West Brom when it comes to holding onto their star man this summer.

Reports suggested Fellows was close to joining Everton in January, but nothing came of that and he stuck with his boyhood club for the remainder of the campaign.

The one plus side to any potential Fellows deal in the summer is that West Brom would have significant funds to recruit new talent of their own.

Of course, the first and most important task for the club at the moment is to find their next manager. Then they can worry about what players will or will not be around next season. Either way, losing Fellows would be a real blow for the Baggies.
