Soccer-England keeper Johnstone released by West Brom

(Reuters) - England goalkeeper Sam Johnstone has been released by West Bromwich Albion, the second-tier Championship club said on Tuesday amid British media reports he could join a Premier League club in the close season.

Johnstone, 29, was linked with a move to a top-flight club last year but ended up staying at the Hawthorns despite having only one year left on his contract. He will now be able to sign as a free agent having left the Midlands club.
