Dundalk wrap up transfer window dealings with loan swoop for West Brom prospect

Dundalk have signed West Brom attacker Rayhaan Tulloch on-loan.

The 22-year-old former England underage international has previously had loan spells at Rochdale and Doncaster - and he made his first-team debut for the Baggies against Brighton in the FA Cup in 2019.

He said: “I’m looking forward to playing in Ireland. I’ve heard a lot of positive things about the league and especially about Dundalk

“I’ve been told it’s a highly professional environment and they do things properly at the club. They want to get back to the top and they have big ambitions which suits me as a player.

“I’m coming over to try and play as many games as possible and my hope is to try and score goals and provide assists and help Dundalk get back to where they want to be.”

Tulloch has been at West Brom since the age of nine - and his arrival has completed head coach Stephen O’Donnell’s transfer window business.

“I’m delighted to get Rayhaan on board,” said O’Donnell. “He will give us another option in the attacking areas, off the wing or in the number 10 position, and he can make a difference in the final third.

“He’s a player with a lot of talent and it’s up to us now to get the best out of that ability.

“We will make the environment he’s coming into as comfortable as possible to give him a platform to thrive.

“I’m sure our fans will love him. He creates chances, space and provides goals and assists and I can’t wait to work with him, develop him, and try and get the best out of him.

“We’re really thankful to Chris Brunt, the loans manager at West Brom, for making it as smooth as it was.

“It happened quite quickly and Rayhaan is looking forward to the opportunity of playing regularly so it’s worked very well both ways.”
