Morrison hopes Karlan Grant gets warm reception on Charlton return | OneFootball

West Bromwich Albion head coach James Morrison hopes former forward Karlan Grant is welcomed back to The Hawthorns tonight as Charlton Athletic, early Championship pacesetters, visit.

According to ExpressAndStar.com, Charlton have won all three league matches so far, with Grant scoring in the latest, a 1-0 victory over Preston North End. He left Albion after the parties failed to agree a deal to extend his stay in the West Midlands.

Speaking at Tuesday’s pre-match press conference, Morrison described Grant as a great servant who always gave everything and said he hopes the forward receives a warm reception.

Morrison said he wanted Grant to prolong his six-year spell, but accepted that no agreement could be reached and wished him well on his move to south London. He added that Grant is probably pleased with Albion’s start and can see progress made in a short time.

Albion have begun well, though not as strongly as Nathan Jones’s side, who have beaten Derby, West Ham and Preston, and also won at Cheltenham Town in the Carabao Cup. Morrison labelled Charlton the surprise of the division, praised their energy under an experienced manager, and said he expects a very tough game.
