Chris Brunt wants 400 West Brom appearances after surpassing Derek Statham
Thursday 1 March 2018 07:04, UK
Chris Brunt says it would be "special" to play 400 West Brom games after joining the club's top 25 all-time appearances list.
The Northern Ireland international, who joined West Brom from Sheffield Wednesday in 2007, surpassed club legend Derek Statham when he made his 364th appearance for the club in the weekend's 2-1 defeat against Huddersfield.
Brunt's deal at The Hawthorns expires at the end of the season but he is keen to remain with West Brom beyond the current campaign as he targets further landmarks at the club.
"If I ended up going past 400 games that would be great because especially nowadays, with the turnover of players... setting that kind of number of appearances here would feel special," the 33-year-old told the Express and Star.
"I came here 10 years ago and I wanted to get in the team, I wanted to get promoted, I wanted to play in the Premier League and I wanted to play as many games as possible for the Albion.
"You don't think about records, or milestones in that way, but it's nice to achieve those things."
Sky Sports News understands Brunt was critical of manager Alan Pardew's tactics when the pair had a heated exchange in the dressing room following Saturday's defeat to relegation rivals Huddersfield.
West Brom sit seven points adrift of safety at the bottom of the Premier League with 10 games left of the season after winning just once since August in England's top flight.
