ALBION have been drawn alongside Accrington Stanley, Blackpool and Macclesfield Town in the group stages of the 2018/19 Checkatrade Trophy.
The Baggies have been placed in Northern Section Group C for the competition, with each invited Under-21 side facing three EFL clubs.
Lincoln City won the competition last year when they beat Shrewsbury Town 1-0 at Wembley.
Albion will play every Northern Group C team once to determine who will finish in the top two and qualify for the second round, with fixture dates and times confirmed shortly.
