CumbrianRam Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 GILES Barnes has set his sights on a return to the Premier League after being given the chance to resurrect his career with West Bromwich Albion. The former Derby County forward signed an 18-month deal with the Baggies this week. The 21-year-old's contract with the Rams was cancelled by mutual consent last month following an injury-plagued spell at Pride Park. Barnes has been recovering from his latest injury – a ruptured Achilles tendon, which he suffered in Derby's pre-season friendly against Stoke City in August. He has not played a first-team game for more than a year but is now hoping to prove his fitness at Championship promotion-chasers West Brom. "I've had a few injury problems but, hopefully, they are all behind me," said Barnes. "I'm just grateful for the chance I've been given and, hopefully, I can show everyone what I'm capable of again." Barnes set up Stephen Pearson's winner in Derby's 2007 Championship play-off final victory over West Brom. "Derby were quite lucky that day, if I'm honest," he added. "We got battered that day but the aim is to score goals – and we did. "Hopefully, I can show the Albion fans exactly what I showed the Derby fans that season." http://www.therams.co.uk/news/Ex-Ram-Barnes-eyes-Premier-return-Baggies/article-1806006-detail/article.html I honestly can't remember any battering that game, the only WBA chance I remember was Kevin Phillips hitting the bar.
