West Bromwich Albion forward Rayhaan Tulloch, 21, has signed for Rochdale AFC on a season-long loan.

Tulloch joined West Brom at nine-years-old and came though the youth system, making his professional debut in January 2019, coming on as substitute in an FA Cup fourth round tie. Last season, he made two league appearances for West Brom.

Tulloch signed a four-year extension at The Hawthorns in July 2020 and two months after extending his stay in the West Midlands, he joined up with former Baggies head coach Darren Moore at Doncaster Rovers, where unfortunately his stay was cut short due to injury.

He has previously represented England at under-17 and under-18 youth level.

He said: “I’m really pleased to have joined the club. It has been a long time coming and I’m looking forward to it. I can’t wait to get back out there and play football again.

“I’ve worked with the gaffer and Jimmy Shan before and I like the way they operate. They’re good people and they’re the right people to help me progress in my football career.”

Manager Robbie Stockdale commented: “Ray is a fantastic talent. We’re really pleased to have him.

“He can play anywhere across the front postitions and he can play as an attacking mifielder, so I like the fact that he can play a few positions, it gives us a bit of flexibililty.”
