West Brom Women could have a new star on their hands in the shape of Simran Jhamat after opening her account for her new club against Huddersfield.
The club announced (September 8) that the 22-year-old former Liverpool striker has joined the club from Coventry United, with manager Siobhan Hodgetts-still expecting her to “help massively” during the season.
this prize.
In that regard, she has so far risen to the challenge after an impressive performance at The Hawthorns against Huddersfield Town, scoring her first goal for the Baggies in a 4-1 FA Women’s National League win.
She comes to the club from a large list of impressive clubs including Liverpool, Leicester, Lewes and Bristol City, gaining international attention at a young age, representing England at U17 level, U18 and under 19 years old.
His arrival at the club was met with much anticipation – and high expectations.
The Baggies ended their Championship campaign in a respectable eighth place, matching their position last season.
However, goal numbers are an issue, with West Brom only scoring 28 goals during the season, the second lowest total in the top eight of the table.
Hodgetts-Still’s side are in desperate need of goals this season and after their performance against Huddersfield, they have just found a new source of goals.
Jhamat opened the scoring with a poacher-style finish at the near post, meeting Hannah George’s chipped pass into the box.
His dribbling ability was also evident, with his slalom runs causing problems for the Terriers throughout the match.
She continued to energize the Terriers’ new goalkeeper by assisting Imogen Maguire’s goal before being substituted in the 72nd minute, but that performance left Baggies fans excited for the rest Of the season.
If Jhamat can maintain her good form since the start of the season, she could play a key role in taking West Brom Women to the next level.
