DORRANS committed his future to Albion after being rewarded with a second new-and-improved contract inside seven months in January 2010.

The 22-year-old signed a three-and-a-half year deal, plus a further year's option in the club's favour, after a terrific first half of the season.

He was initially rewarded for his rapid progress at The Hawthorns with a three-year Albion deal, plus a further year's option in the club's favour, in May 2009.

Dorrans completed his move to the Baggies in a £100,000 deal from Livingston in July 2008 and the fee could rise by a further £150,000 depending on appearances.

Although he was not expected to figure prominently during his first season at the club, he quickly became a fans' favourite with a series of impressive displays in central midfield following his full Barclays Premier League debut in the goalless draw at West Ham in March.

His form even earned him his first-ever Scotland B squad call-up in April 2008 but he was unable to play in the friendly with Northern Ireland due to a foot injury.

The midfielder was named in the 2007/08 PFA Scottish League One XI and was voted PFA League One Player of the Year by his fellow professionals.

The Baggies agreed the move for the Lions' 12-goal top scorer in February 2008 after he impressed Tony Mowbray during a training spell at the club.

Dorrans, who made five Under-21 international appearances, joined Scottish First Division outfit Livingston as a 13-year-old.
