LIAM BRIDCUTT has revealed he would come back to Albion “if there was the right opportunity”.

The on-loan Leeds midfielder returns to the Amex tonight for the first time since handing in a transfer request and leaving for Sunderland in January 2014.

Bridcutt, who helped Albion win League One and reach the Championship play-offs, said: “It was probably my best period in football. That was my opportunity to properly showcase what I could do and I had brilliant times there.

“I know the place well and I’d call it home. My first child was born there and it’s where my family started. It’s where my career really started and it’s a club where, if there was the right opportunity to go back at some stage, I definitely would.

“Even when I first joined, the club always had direction. There was always a plan. Nothing happened by accident. They hit a bit of a rocky patch after losing Gus (Poyet) but, like most clubs, it happens. They seem to have got their stability back. I’m happy to see that.

“They’re 100 per cent guaranteed top six now but my best games seem to be when we play the top teams.”
