The news for Barry will be another disappointing blow after enduring a torrid campaign with the managerless Baggies at the bottom of the table.

Caretaker manager Darren Moore has taken charge of the Baggies remaining games in the Premier League following Alan Pardew's sacking last week.

Despite initially being one of the contenders for the club's player of the season accolade, the 37-year-old has had problems off the pitch after he and four other West Brom players allegedly stole a taxi outside of McDonald's in Barcelona.

Barry and the four other West Brom players were fine a combined fee of £450,000 by the club following their warm-weather training trip in February.
