Oliver David Bostock (born 20 February 2007) is a Welsh footballer who plays as a winger for EFL Championship club West Bromwich Albion. Born in England, he is a Wales under-21 international.

Career

Born in Kingston upon Thames, Bostock's family moved to Lichfield at an early age, joining the West Bromwich Albion academy aged six.[3] In March 2024, he signed a first professional contract.[4] At the end of the 2023–24 season, he was named as Academy Player of the Season.[5]

Following an impressive performance in the FA Youth Cup,[6] Bostock found himself named in a number of first-team squads across the second-half of the 2024–25 season.[7] Despite not having made an appearance however, he was tipped by youth coach James Morrison to continue to make an impression.[8]

On 10 September 2025, he signed a new two-year deal with the Baggies.[9] Shortly after, on 4 October, he made his senior debut as a late substitute in a 3–0 Championship defeat to Millwall.[10] His FA Cup debut followed later in the season, as Bostock replaced Daryl Dike in the 60th minute against Swansea City.[11] His assist for Jed Wallace's extra time goal, and then later winning penalty in the penalty shootout, gave West Bromwich Albion a 2-2 (5-6 on penalties) victory over Swansea City.[12] He was named as the club's Young Player of the Season for the 2025–26 season.[13]

International

In March 2026 Bostock was called up to the Wales under-21 squad for the first time.[14] In May 2026 he was called up to the Wales senior squad for the first time.[15]
