Luke Williams has become the latest departure from Albion's backroom team.

The development coach has been told by the club to leave with immediate effect.

Williams, 32, a former Norwich City schoolboy and Bristol Rovers apprentice, was appointed by sacked former boss Gus Poyet in August 2010, when the development squad was established to mould the youngest professionals on the books into potential first team players.

His departure follows the dismissal of Poyet for alleged breach of contract and the exit of Poyet's No. 2 Mauricio Taricco by mutual consent as the decks are cleared for new head coach Oscar Garcia to bring in his own support staff.
