Baggies could do well - Greening

Jonathan Greening was thrilled to lift the Championship trophy

West Brom skipper Jonathan Greening is convinced his team can make their mark in the Premier League next season.

The Baggies clinched the Championship title with a final-day victory at QPR, and now have the summer to prepare for their latest return to the top flight.

"We're really dedicated to doing well next year," Greening told BBC WM.

"We're thinking if we can get a few players who the gaffer wants to bring in and play the way we like to play, we've got every chance of doing well."

Greening was thrilled to lift the Championship trophy after the final whistle at Loftus Road.

I think it's the first league title I've won since I was 11 so I'm going to cherish it

"It's just amazing. Just to lift it and be part of such a brilliant squad with a great team spirit, it's been brilliant, it's been a pleasure.

"I think it's the first league title I've won since I was 11 so I'm going to cherish it."

The former Manchester United and Middlesbrough midfielder is keenly aware that Albion were considered the best footballing team in the division, but knew they had to live up to that label.

"Everyone's been saying all year that we've been playing the best football, but we had to get the results," he said. "Everyone's really pleased for the gaffer and the coaching staff."
