Jason moved to West Bromwich Albion on 26 July 2000, for a club record £2 million fee. He made his debut in a 1–0 defeat away at Nottingham Forest on 12 August 2000. He scored twice against Swansea City in the League Cup on 6 September 2000, his first goals for the club. Jason scored 15 goals in 34 appearances in 2000–01 forming a successful partnership with Lee Hughes and fired Albion into the 1st Division playoffs. During West Brom's successful promotion campaign of 2001–02 however, Jason’s season was blighted by a persistent foot injury, breaking his fifth metatarsal three times. He managed only 12 league appearances during the season, scoring seven goals.
In West Bromwich Albion's first season in the Premiership, Jason scored three goals in a total of 31 games. He was loaned out for much of the 2003–04 season to Portsmouth, where he scored one goal in four appearances, and after handing in a transfer request half way through the season earned himself a move to Wigan Athletic for a transfer fee of approximately £2 million.
