It is a privilege to play for West Bromwich Albion, according to Callum Styles.

The Hungarian international joined the Baggies from Barnsley in August having ended last season on loan at Sunderland.

"It's a top club and I was privileged to come to a club like this and I just wanted to play," he told BBC Radio WM

"The whole environment around the club is top with the players and staff and I'm just excited for what we can do this season."

Styles has spent much of his career as a midfielder but has found himself used predominantly on the left side of defence since moving to The Hawthorns.

"I've grown into that position - before this I only played a bit in that position as part of a back four but under Carlos (Corberan) he was very tactical and helped me grow and develop.

"Now Tony Mowbray lets you express your whole abilities and the mix of the two is helping me play some good football."

West Brom are in fifth position in the Championship as they prepare to meet Hull City on Saturday (15:00 GMT).

"The whole team is doing well, we're in the play-off positions which is where we want to be.

"If we win more games than our competitiors then we'll be in the play-offs which is better than relying on other teams to drop points. We just have to take it a game at a time and come the end of the season we'll see where we're at," added Styles.
