West Bromwich Albion midfielder Chris Brunt has pledged his future to the club and confirmed that he will be there next season, regardless of whether they are relegated.

The Baggies are on the brink of dropping into the Championship, but the Northern Ireland international has triggered a one-year contract extension to remain at The Hawthorns for 2018-19.

"I've triggered next year as an option," The Mirror quotes Brunt as saying. "I will be here next year unless anybody tells me otherwise.

"Unless somebody comes in with drastic new ideas, everybody has to accept their bit of responsibility for what's gone on this year and I'm no different.

"I think if we can get the right blend and the right mix next year and have a good go it could be a positive season for us. Every year in the Premier League you are throwing millions at it to just be a survivor.

"There are probably 10 clubs in the same position as us who could be in the same situation we're in, but this year, unfortunately, it's been us."

West Brom will be relegated if they lose at Newcastle United this weekend.
