Kyle Edwards joins Exeter City on loan from West Brom

Exeter City have signed West Brom forward Kyle Edwards on loan until January.

The 19-year-old is highly-rated at the Hawthorns and was named on the bench for the Baggies League Cup tie at Norwich City in September 2015.

Kyle has featured for Albion’s Premier League 2 side on many occasions producing a string of impressive performances including at Middlesbrough where he curled home a stunning strike.

Speaking about Kyle, West Brom’s professional development phase coach/loans manager, Darren Moore said: “Kyle is an excellent player.

"He is an exciting talent with real potential. He is quick and very direct and has tight ball control. He has the ability to go past people and create things and I am pleased that he is going to Exeter as they have a great reputation and philosophy for playing good, attacking football.”

City assistant manager Matt Oakley added: “Kyle is another promising youngster at West Brom and we are delighted that Darren (Moore) and Tony Pulis consider Exeter City the right club for him to join on loan. He will add a real strength in depth to our squad and we are pleased to welcome Kyle to our club.”
