Championship side, West Bromwich Albion has dropped Super Eagles defender, Semi Ajayi from the players retained for next season alongside other players whose contracts expire on June 30.

Ajayi’s time at The Hawthorns comes to an end after an injury-hit campaign in which the experienced centre-back missed 29 Championship matches, in addition to cup fixtures against Fleetwood Town and Bournemouth.

After more than two months on the sidelines, the 31-year-old bid farewell to the Baggies faithful on the final day of the season, coming off the bench for the last 37 minutes following an injury to Kyle Bartley.

Ajayi joined West Brom from Rotherham United in 2019 and went on to make 177 appearances for the club, 147 of them as a starter.

He found the net 13 times during his spell in the Midlands, with memorable goals against Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League.
