Neither footballer satisfied Tony Pulis, the coach for the Premier League side West Bromich Albion.

The Baggies have tweeted that the pair will not be offered a contract after being on trial for several weeks:

Assistant head coach Dave Kemp told the UK Express and Star paper that the club may have chosen to keep them had they joined earlier for training:
