Baggies midfielders Chris Brunt and Gareth Barry, defender Lee Peltier and goalkeeper Jonathan Bond, whose contracts were due to expire at the end of June, have all signed up for another month to help their push for promotion.

But Al Habsi will not be returning to training and is free to find himself another club this summer.

The 38-year-old joined West Brom at the beginning of the season as cover.

But he hasn't played for the first team as Slaven Bilic's side have rivalled Leeds United for top spot.

Al Habsi made 150 appearances during a successful five-year stint at Wigan between 2010-15.
