England-born winger of Ghanaian descent, Brandon Thomas-Asante, featured for West Bromwich Albion on Friday, May 17, 2024, when the team suffered a 3-1 loss to Southampton in the second leg of the Championship playoff semi-finals.

The talented attacker did not start in the crucial match between the two teams.

In the 64th minute, his manager brought him into the game to replace striker Jed Wallace.

Although Brandon Thomas-Asante put in a solid performance, his team fell short on the scoresheet at full-time and failed in their bid for promotion to the English Premier League.

The match at St. Mary's saw Southampton unable to score in the first half but securing the win in the second.

Forward Adam Armstrong netted a brace after William Smallbone's strike had opened the scoring for the Saints.
