The 25-year-old admits the players are 'a little bit disappointed' there is little chance of facing Albion in a Black Country derby next term with the Baggies likely to be relegated this weekend.

The midfielder-turned-defender was speaking as a guest of BBC Radio Merseyside in his home city of Liverpool.

He told the station: "It's the best feeling in the world [to be champions], to get promoted that weekend, it was a special weekend when we found out Fulham had drew with Brentford and we went and beat Birmingham.

"But to beat Bolton 4-0 knowing we'd already been promoted, and the performance the boys put in just shows the character they've got."

But he added he would have loved to have taken on Black Country rivals Albion. "You want to play West Brom, as a Wolves player, as a Wolves fan.

"They all want to play West Brom, we really do. We want to play them and experience that atmosphere because we all know what it can be like.

"We're a little bit disappointed that's what it looks like [with Albion as relegation candidates] going into next season...

"They're fantastic games to play in. The crowd, there's that extra level in terms of the crowd."
