Analysis from Steve Hermon, West Bromwich Albion commentator for BBC Radio WM.

I don’t think there are any major surprises from the released list. One of the main objectives is to get the wage bill down over the next year and it’s also an ageing group.

Phillips certainly leaves with the best wishes of the club and the fans but having been hampered by injuries, it’s the right time to part ways.

Reach and Pieters were regularly singled out by Corberan for their commitment to the cause, but he clearly feels he can move on without them.

The trio being offered new contracts were a vital part of the push towards a play-off place, with Kipre and Bartley being a solid duo in the centre of defence and Mowatt pulling the strings in midfield.

With the objective of getting the wage bill down it will be interesting to know what terms the Baggies have offered to tempt them to remain. Kipre will have no shortage of offers, so fans will now wait nervously to see if they extend their stays.

They’ll also be hoping the Baggies can do a deal with Celtic for Mikey Johnston after the popular winger returns to Scotland following a successful loan since January.

It will be an interesting summer as Corberan gets his first real opportunity to mould a squad since he arrived in October 2022. He has worked miracles with no money up to this point and improved players who were deemed surplus to requirements by previous managers.

With even a little bit of backing from new owner Shilen Patel, there’s hope though that he can mount another promotion push with some new additions at The Hawthorns.
