Semi Ajayi made his comeback for West Bromwich Albion on Monday night as they defeated Newcastle United in the Premier League 2.
Ajayi played the entirety of the first half as he build up his fitness.
The Nigeria international was sidelined for around four months with injury.
The centre-back sustained a hamstring injury in the first half of the Baggies Sky Bet Championship clash with Cardiff City last October.
Ajayi is expected to return to full action in the next two weeks.
His recovery will also be a sweet music to the ears of Nigeria head coach, Eric Chelle ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in March.
