This is Boiler Man, West Brom’s boiler mascot, making his first match appearance as the club hosted Bolton in their opening Championship fixture of the season.

The Baggies recently announced a two-year partnership with Ideal Boilers that will see the UK heating firm’s logo feature on kit and training wear until the end of the 2019/20 season.

Familiarising himself with the crowd and entertaining the mascots, numerous pictures of the new star of The Hawthorns have circulated on social media.

Have I had too much coffee, or are those kids playing football with a Worcester boiler? #bwfc pic.twitter.com/Ognk7n6GQK
