West Brom winger addresses his future and admits ‘anything can change’ after loan transfer
Rayhaan Tulloch, an attacker for West Brom, joined Bradford City on deadline day and has since made two substitute appearances.
Rayhaan Tulloch, a West Brom winger, plans to utilize his most recent loan as a launching pad for his career after departing The Hawthorns once more on deadline day. Tulloch
began a season-long loan with Mark Hughes’ Bradford City on September 1 and will play this season in League Two.
Tulloch, who debuted for Albion’s senior team as a teenager under Darren Moore and made a few FA Cup games, has had a jumbled few years. A false dawn also occurred under
Valerien Ismael a few years back when he was given his first Baggies league start as a late substitute at Blackburn after playing extensively in preseason.
He reconnected with Moore at Doncaster Rovers in 2019, but a serious injury ended that stint, and his time at Rochdale was less than productive. Previous loan moves have been hit
or miss. Tulloch’s left-field move to Irish club Dundalk at the beginning of the year was a little more promising—he scored five goals in 14 starts—but at Valley Parade, under the
legendary Hughes, he has been given a brand-new EFL opportunity.
Time wouldn’t seem to be on Tulloch’s side, at least not at The Hawthorns, at the age of 22 and in the penultimate year of his contract with Albion, but he cited Jamie Vardy, a fan
favorite and well celebrated success story from Leicester, as the best example for pursuing a career in football later in life.
Tulloch told the Telegraph & Argus, “There’s always time, isn’t there? Just look at Jamie Vardy and what he’s done.” “In football, anything can happen. Who knows? You could have
one strong season and win the championship. It’s about education. Going on loan is very different from playing for your parent club.
“You’ve been there for years and know everyone, so you’re more at ease. It can be a bit of a shock when you are suddenly thrust into a completely different environment, but I believe
it helps you develop character. Because you step outside your comfort zone, you develop as a player. Some young athletes join the first team right away and progress from there.
