ALBION have confirmed that they have terminated the contract of winger Billy Acre.

The club reached an agreement with Arce to terminate the contract in order to allow him to pursue opportunities away from Albion.

Acting technical director David Weir said: "With the transfer window still open for various leagues until the end of February, we came to this agreement as it was to the benefit of both the player and the club.

"Billy was keen to play regular football and at this moment we are unable to give him that guarantee.

"We wish him well in his aim to achieve that and all the very best for the future."

The 23-year-old joined the club in 2018 after signing from Ecuadorian club Independiente del Valla.

He has spent time out on loan with four clubs Extremadura UD, CS Semelec, CS Barcelona and Quito.

In January, he returned to the club after his loan move to Ecuadorian side Quito expired.

Acre had been training with the Under 23s and the first team but now leaves the club without ever making a first-team appearance for the club.
