Albion striker Abdallah Sima is the latest Albion player to go out on loan.

The Senegal striker has joined French outfit Brest for the season.

He previously had stints with Stoke City, Angers and Rangers and was clearly not part of Fabian Huerzeler’s plans for the new campaign.

Sima, 23, played in the second half of both friendly wins in Tokyo but on neither occasion was given the full 45 minutes.

He joins a Brest side reeling from their opening 4-1 home defeat by Marseille.

In the announcement of the deal, Albion technical director David Weir said: “Abdallah had a successful period with Rangers last season and this loan will give him the opportunity to get regular minutes in a good league at a club who finished third in France last season and will be playing in the Champions League this season.

“We wish him well and pathway development manager Gordon Greer and his team will monitor his progress.”
