Jack Bray: West Brom's two-goal starlet against Juventus 'itching' to get going

Attacker Bray, 18, announced himself to the club last week as Albion's under-21s downed youngsters from Italian giants Juventus 4-2 at The Hawthorns with first team boss Ryan Mason watching on.
Bray, who can play as an attacking midfielder or lead the line, was a summer recruit from Harrogate Town after catching the eye against the Baggies' under-18s last term.
