FORMER Albion striker Jurgen Locadia is excited to start his new challenge.
The Dutch striker left the club to join Bundesliga side VfL Bochum on a free transfer, who are currently 12th in the German top flight.
Locadia only made three appearances this season for Albion in all competitions and did not score.
The striker will however now be back in a league where he has had some success in his career.

In 2019 he made 11 league appearances for TSG 1899 Hoffenheim in which he scored four goals and assisted one more.
Speaking about the move back to Germany, Locadia admitted he is looking forward to it.
He said: "I'm glad that the move to VfL has worked out.
"I'm curious about the team and am looking forward to playing in the Bundesliga again.
"Having had little playing time recently, I naturally hope that this will change at VfL."
