The Alvechurch X account has stated that West Brom has decided to prolong the 19-year-old goalkeeper Ronnie Hollingshead’s loan agreement with Alvechurch. Hollingshead has experience with the first team.
West Brom official website, Hollingshead first signed a one-month loan agreement with the non-league team that ended at the end of January. However, he has now committed to stay till the end of the campaign.
At the beginning of the previous season, the youthful goalkeeper committed to a two-and-a-half-year contract, marking his first professional contract with the Baggies.
Ronnie Hollingshead’s loan will be extended by West Brom
Having previously played on a short-term loan with non-league Hednesford Town in the start of 2023, this is Hollingshead’s second stint in senior football.
Being close to West Brom, which is located south of Birmingham, Alvechurch makes it simple for the team to monitor the development of their young youngster while he is not at The Hawthorns.
The loan club plays their football in the Southern League Premier Division Central, level seven of the English football pyramid, which will give Hollingshead a chance to find experience playing senior football, regardless of the level.
It is said that the goalkeeper has picked up plenty from Baggies goalkeeping coach Boaz Myhill, and if he can impress at The Hawthorns as much as his coach did, he will quickly make himself a fan-favourite in years to come.
He trained with the Wales Under-21 team during the March international break of the previous year, and he will want to establish an international career for himself by continuing to perform well in every game.
