The Baggies were relegated but Blues Academy graduate Gallagher enhanced his reputation by making 30 league appearances and taking the club's young player of the year award.
Gallagher chipped in with two goals and two assists and had returned back to Chelsea for pre-season training under Thomas Tuchel.
