Gareth Barry is facing an uncertain future at West Bromwich Albion after it emerged the under-fire midfielder has triggered a new contract.

Telegraph Sport can reveal that Barry, who infuriated supporters after being pictured in a Birmingham nightclub on Friday night, has passed a set number of games to earn a new 12-month deal at the struggling Premier League club.

West Brom, who parted company with Alan Pardew on Monday, agreed the clause with Barry when he joined the club from Everton in August and he is entitled to a new deal after making over 25 appearances.

But the 37 year-old’s future has been thrown into doubt after events this year, which include him being fined for allegedly hijacking a taxi with three other senior players during the club’s training camp in Barcelona.

Barry was also photographed in Birmingham club Snobs late on Friday night and though he is currently injured, there were negative chants about the former England international from sections of the Hawthorns crowd during the 2-1 defeat to Burnley the following day.
