"Sometimes coaches love you and sometimes you don't fit their style and you have to respect that and we mutually agreed to move on.

"I think West Brom respected me as a person and as a player and to not waste my time they allowed me the opportunity to see where I go for next season.

"I wasn't playing and I wasn't happy and West Brom wanted to bolster their squad for next season, so it was a win-win for both parties and we parted ways very respectfully.

"The most important thing for me is to be happy and to play week-in week-out again. I need to make sure this is a big year for me."

Davidson will Australia for a training camp in Dubai next Monday ahead of the World Cup qualifier with Kyrgyzstan on June 17 in Bishkek before considering his options for next season.

"There are four clubs in Europe that I am in negotiations with and the most important thing is not to rush into anything and make sure I make the right decision because I want to be playing next season," he said.

"That wasn't the case at West Brom and it's crucial that the next decision I make is the correct one for my career.

"Fortunately, even though I haven't played at club level, I've had a solid year with the national team and that's what has kept me in the hunt.

"A lot of clubs have shown interest after seeing me play at the Asian Cup and also against Germany (in March).

"I am sure I will find the right club and can have a fantastic season."
