Keeper Kiely in promotion vow

Last updated : 27 June 2007 By Danny Deeming
West Brom goalkeeper Dean Kiely intends to push himself harder than ever before in order to help Baggies reach the Premier League.Albion were beaten 1-0 by Derby in the Championship play-off final at Wembley last month and Kiely is desperate to erase the memory of that defeat. He said: "I feel like I am in the best shape of my life but I am going to demand another five or 10% from myself next season to help get West Brom into the Premier League. "If you look around our dressing room you see a strong group of players - they are mentally very tough - so I know the response to us missing out on promotion in the play-offs will be a positive one. The manager has got a plan to get us up and I desperately want to be involved in that, to play in a West Brom team which wins promotion. That is the goal of mine for the next calendar year, to make sure in 12 months time we are in the Premier League."
