Emotional farewell for West Brom-bound Felix Horn Myhre after final game

Albion-bound Felix Horn Myhre enjoyed an emotional send off as SK Brann earned a stoppage-time victory prior to the midfielder’s move.

Myhre, an icon after five years at the Bergen club, was paraded in front of supporters at full-time of the dramatic 3-2 home win over Rosenberg. It had already been confirmed it was his final appearance for the club.

The midfielder is set to fly to England on Monday to undergo a medical at Albion ahead of a move, claimed in Norway to be worth around £3.1million.

It was an emotional farewell to the club Myhre has represented on 181 occasions and won two league titles.

The Norway international said afterwards he was “looking forward to something new” after he confirmed the move to England - and said he had spoken with former Brann team-mate, Albion frontman Aune Heggebo, about The Hawthorns switch.

"I'm looking forward to trying something new, and I have an old teammate who's kind of keeping an eye on me,” Myhre told BA.

“I've had a chat with him. I'm really excited, and he's just as much. He was positive about both the club and how my role was going to look."

Albion beat off Spanish side Elche for Myhre’s signature, with the final part of the move to be compete once the midfield talent has completed his medical.

Baggies boss James Morrison has been a big driver behind the move throughout the summer.

Brann were victorious on Myhre’s farewell in front of an appreciative crowd, but had to do it the hard way against Rosenberg.

The midfielder, who has become one of the top flight’s most influential players in his time at the club, had a hand in the late winner with a telling pass through Rosenberg’s defence for Joachim Soltvedt to cross for Kristian Eriksen to head home. Myhre was hoisted up by team-mates in front of fans after the final whistle (above).

Myhre added afterwards: "It was special, of course, but also the last one for now.

"There have been many ups and downs. I’ve really grown fond of both Brann and Bergen. There are so many great memories.

"It’s hard to look past the Cup final victory. Then there are a bunch of European matches - not just in the group stage, but in the qualifiers too. Even though we were knocked out by AZ Alkmaar, that memory stands out incredibly strongly.

“Leaving that group is going to be really sad. I’m going to miss the dressing room so much.

"I look forward to playing alongside new teammates and gaining new experiences."

Boss Eirik Horneland added: “He deserves it now.”

They climbed to sixth in the Eliteserien with the win.

Myhre’s imminent capture is a coup for Albion for a player who surprisingly missed out on Norway’s World Cup squad, as the nation went on to be knocked out by England in the last eight.

The creative midfielder adds to Morrison’s options of Ousmane Diakite, Jayson Molumby and Alex Mowatt.

Myhre is a described as a box-to-box midfielder and technical talent who has two goals in seven caps for Norway and 32 goals, as well as 39 assists, in 181 appearances for Brann.
