Celtic hero Rogic leaves new club just one year after Parkhead exit

Tom Rogic has been released by West Brom after one season at the club.

The former Celtic midfielder signed up at the Championship side last summer.

Rogic called time on his Celtic stay last season and made the switch to the Baggies in September on a one-year deal.

The club held an option to extend the contract by 12 months but decided against activating the clause.

It means Rogic will now be on the lookout for a new club.

During his time at West Brom, Rogic made 23 appearances and scored twice.

A lengthy WBA squad update, which confirmed Rogic's departure, read: "West Bromwich Albion can confirm their retained and released lists following the conclusion of the 2022/23 campaign.

"The Baggies are in talks with first-team defender Erik Pieters over a new deal, while goalkeeper Ted Cann has earned a one-year extension to his current contract, which now runs until June 2024. 

"PL2 quartet Jamie Andrews, Mo Faal, Aaron Harper-Bailey and Brad Foster, as well as second-year scholars Fenton Heard, Akeel Higgins, Layton Love and Narel Phillips, have all received offers to remain with the club.

"But three senior players will be leaving The Hawthorns this summer.

"Long-serving club captain Jake Livermore departs following six-and-a-half years in B71, and he said goodbye to Baggies fans earlier this month via an open letter.

"Tom Rogic and Kean Bryan are also leaving the football club.

"Former Celtic midfielder Rogic, who signed in September 2022, exits having scored twice in 23 games across all competitions last season and Bryan departs after making three appearances in two years at The Hawthorns.

"Youngsters Quevin Castro, Rico Richards, Ramello Mitchell, Cianole Nguepissi, Sammy Okoka, Sam Oluwatobi, Beau Hudd, Tobias Hurlock, Femi Olofinjana, Archie Oliver and Jesse Wangusi are also set to leave the Baggies when their current contracts expire.

"The club would like to thank all departing players for their efforts during their time at The Hawthorns and wishes them every success in the future."
