Albion midfielder Artim Sakiri today issued a 'play me' plea to Gary Megson after being left out of the first team side all season.

The FYR Macedonian International is considering a move away from the Hawthorns in order to get first team football.

Sakiri said: "From the first day at West Brom, Gary Megson was always saying to me that I have the qualities to play in the Premiership.

"I still believe in his words, but it is clear that I am not figuring in his plans at the moment.

"If my position doesn't change before the winter, I hope that the club will loan me somewhere until the end of the season so that I can play.

"It would be pointless for me to stay at West Brom until June if I am not even on the bench."
