David Button leaves West Brom after contract is terminated
Goalkeeper David Button has departed Albion as the two parties agreed to terminate his contract 12 months early.
The 34-year-old was not part of head coach Carlos Corberan's plans for the season and is expected to join League One new-boys Reading.
Button joined Albion for a fee in the region of £1million in 2020 and penned a two-year contract extension last summer, when he went into the 2022/23 as the club's No.1 under Steve Bruce.
But he was ousted from the role by Alex Palmer by October and has scarcely featured for the club since.
And, with another year still to run on his deal at The Hawthorns, the club and shot-stopper have agreed to terminate his terms to allow him to move on.
Albion were keen to move Button on from the wage bill after it became apparent he would not feature in Corberan's plans, having fallen behind Palmer, Josh Griffiths and youngster Ted Cann in the pecking order.
There has also been interest from Newcastle in Baggies keeper Griffiths this summer, as well as in Palmer, with Premier League new-boys Luton making a failed approach for the No.1 two weekends ago.
