A near-automatic selection for Tranmere Rovers from October 2000, Jason Koumas showed some fine form in 2000-01 despite appearing in a struggling side.

A creative and stylish midfield player, he grew in maturity as the campaign progressed and also developed into the main focus for the Rovers' attack, finishing up as leading scorer with ten goals.

His performances attracted the attention of bigger clubs and, at the beginning of June, he made his debut in international football for Wales when he came off the subs' bench in the closing stages of the World Cup qualifier against Ukraine.

Jason joined West Bromwich Albion in August 2002 for a Baggies club record of £2.5million. They also had to pay another £250,000 when Jason made 75 first team appearances.

His contract was extended to June 2008 in July 2004 but was made available for transfer in May 2005.

Jason's Albion contract was extended to June 2009 in August 2006.

He joined Wigan Athletic in July 2007 with a four-year contract.

Jason re-joined Tranmere Rovers in August 2013 with a one-year contract that was extended to June 2015 in May 2014.
