Hughton was sacked by Albion at the end of last season and the Ex-Spurs full-back is being careful before jumping into a new role - as he targets a return to the Premier League.

He was previously linked to the Stoke job but is he going to Millwall? "That's news to me!" said Hughton, speaking on the Goals on Sunday, "There have been opportunities," Hughton added. "It's about coming back at the best level I can and if that takes a bit of time... I'd like to think we've done a decent job in the Premier League.
