Defender Jonas Olsson leaves West Bromwich Albion after nine years

Swedish defender Jonas Olsson has left West Bromwich Albion to return to his homeland and join Djurgarden.

Olsson, 34, would have been out of contract in the summer, but has reached a mutual agreement with Albion to terminate the remaining months of his deal.

It means he will sign for the Stockholm club in time for the start of the Swedish season next week.

His departure brings an end to a nine-year stay at The Hawthorns in which he helped West Brom win promotion back to the Premier League, making 194 starts and scoring eight goals in the top flight.
