Albion have extended Richie Towell’s contract – and offered Casper Ankergren a new role behind the scenes.
Towell remains on board until 2019 and is expected to move out on loan next season.
The former Dundalk hotshot has struggled for first-team chances in Chris Hughton’s side since signing midway through the 2015-16 season.
But he has shown enough glimpses to remain part of Hughton’s longer-term thoughts.
Ankergren will combine training, coaching and scouting duties under the guidance of Albion’s goalkeeping coach Ben Roberts.
The veteran Dane has enjoyed precious little playing time in the last two seasons but is valued for his off-field influence.
