Albion midfielder Jensen Weir has joined League One Morecambe on a season-long loan.

Last week, Morecambe announced a commercial deal that will see two-time world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury sponsor the home and away shorts for the coming season.

The midfielder spent last season on loan in the third-tier, where he made 15 appearances for Cambridge United.

Pathway development manager Gordon Greer said, “The aim will be for Jensen to play regularly and continue his development in a men’s team environment.

“We will be monitoring his progress throughout his loan and we wish him the best of luck for the season.”

The 20-year-old – who is the son of Albion technical director David Weir – joined us from Wigan in July 2020 and was included in Albion’s Premier League matchday squad at Liverpool in February 2021, when Graham Potter’s team ran out 1-0 winners.
