Albion take up Edwards option

Albion have activated the Club's one-year option which will extend Kyle Edwards’ contract until the end of next season.

The Baggies were in talks with Kyle about a new, longer-term deal when the Covid-19 pandemic struck.

Sporting and Technical Director Luke Dowling explained that those talks would resume when football’s future plans had become clear.

“We were in advanced discussions with Kyle and his representative when the pandemic brought everything to a halt,” said Luke.

“Those discussions will resume at a suitable point but it made sense in the meantime to activate the option that keeps Kyle with us until the end of the following season.
