Jack Hinshelwood is happy to be flexible for Albion - as he eyes senior international honours.

The 19-year-old started the season at left-back but scored from midfield in the 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest.

In reality, he often pops up in midfield when officially playing at full-back in Fabian Huerzeler’s fluid set-up.

WHY JACK GOES WAY BACK WITH ALBION

Hinshelwood said: “I’m playing full-back but a lot of the time I can end up in the middle of the pitch.

“I think I can be very flexible and I think that’s another thing that I can provide to the team.

“The amount of positions I can play, I feel there is more chance of me getting into the team but wherever the manager sees me playing is ultimately what’s best.”

Albion coach and former midfielder Andrew Crofts said: “He is such a top player, to be able to play lots of different positions and play each position as well as he does, for someone so young, is difficult.

“And the goal he scores from midfield is something he is really good at.

“We have seen him do that from full-back as well so he gives you some real versatility.

“He can handle the ball really well, is physically very good, game intelligent, makes runs into the box, times it well and obviously he can defend the box just as well.

“Long term, I like him in both positions.”

Hinshelwood was at right-back for his recent England under-21s debut and Huerzeler carefully assessed his Kenilworth Road performance in the 4-1 win over Austria.

The Albion academy graduate said: "The manager here Fabian messaged me the day after saying he went through my clips and we sat down later in that week and discussed what I did well and what I can do better.

"It's the case for every game, there's always positive feedback but at the same time, there is always things to learn and improve on.

“You can see with the (England) pathway now, there are so many young lads in the squad and that really provides motivation.

“Everyone in that under-21s team now, even the younger age groups, can be aspiring to get into that England set-up because that’s what we all work towards.”
