Fortune has now become a key player for Albion.
He said: “When I was not playing it was a hard time for me. In my first spell at West Brom I played every game and felt I did well.
“I came back from Celtic because I like this club but, when you come back and are not the first-choice striker, it is hard. When you don’t play you sometimes have these feelings that you want to move on.
“But these feelings stay with you for one or two days and then they go away. Sometimes you feel down but you have to keep your head up and having my family, wife and agent around me helped.”
He added: “Now it’s a pleasure to play football again. I’m enjoying the feeling of being on the pitch again. In football you have good and bad moments. I knew that one day I would have my chance again.”
