JONATHAN Greening has pledged his future to the Baggies - whether they beat the drop or not.
The Albion skipper suffered relegation with the club in 2006 but refused to jump ship and saw his loyalty rewarded.
He was part of the side that suffered play-off final defeat 12 months later but signed a new contract in August 2007 and captained the team to the Championship crown and a Wembley FA Cup semi-final.
The former Manchester United and Middlesbrough ace has a year left on his current Hawthorns deal, plus a further year's option in the club's favour.
And, with 215 Albion appearances already to his name, he has set his sights on reaching the 500-mark.
"For me this is a great club," said Greening.
"It has got great backing and great fans.
"We play a great style of football even though we are bottom of the league.
"It's a club on the up and it has a really bright future.
"For me staying after we got relegated gave me two of my best years in my career.
"We had the play-off final and a Wembley FA Cup semi-final, winning promotion, great times away and great times at The Hawthorns.
"People have got to look at the bigger picture.
"As long as the manager and chairman would like me, I'd love to stay.
"I've played 215 games now for West Brom and I'd like to get to the 500-mark if I possibly could."
