West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Josh Griffiths says he played his best game for the Baggies in the 1-0 win at Norwich City on Wednesday.

The 24-year-old put in a player-of-the-match performance making four saves and keeping a clean sheet.

"In a West Brom shirt, [it was my] best game," Griffiths told BBC Radio WM.

"Tonight people could argue maybe we didn't [deserve to win] but it's an honest group. We work so hard and to hold on, to come away [with three points] that gives us massive confidence."

Griffiths signed for the Baggies in the summer of 2020 but has been on loan at Cheltenham Town, Lincoln City, Portsmouth and Bristol Rovers since. Having returned to the West Midlands in February, he has started every league game this season, keeping three clean sheets.

"It's the best dressing room I've been in in terms of just having good, honest lads. Everyone works hard for each other, everyone gets along," Griffiths said.

Having waited patiently for a chance at the number one goalkeeper spot at West Brom, it is a big season for Griffiths as he seeks to prove he deserves it.

"I'm my own harshest critic. I want to do as best I can and it's nice to be playing at the moment," he said.

"I've got that belief in myself that I can really make the shirt mine and have a great year."

As long as he is in between the sticks, Griffiths is keen to continue contributing as his side get back to winning ways. The Baggies had failed to win in their past three matches prior to the victory at Norwich.

"We hadn't won for a while - Stoke was our last win so to get that feeling back is good. Albeit performances haven't been bad it's just we've fallen on the wrong side of results," Griffiths said.

West Bromwich Albion will next take on Millwall in the Championship on Saturday (15:00 BST).
