Albert Adomah will not be offered a new contract when his current deal expires in the summer, according to a report.

Birmingham Live have claimed that the 31-year-old, who joined the club during the summer of 2016, will part ways with the Midlands outfit after they won promotion to the Premier League on Monday.

It is said that Dean Smith has released the popular Villa man, who will now be a free-agent and hoping to find a new club for the start of next season.

Versatile attacker Adomah won the Players’ Player of the Year last season as Villa reached the play-off finals only to be beaten by Fulham.

This season, they went one better and booked a return to the promised land when they beat Frank Lampard’s Derby County 2-1 at Wembley on Monday.

Adomah started that encounter on the right flank as he was substituted in the second half for youngster Andre Green after playing a part in Villa’s opening goal.

Nonetheless, Adomah’s release from Villa won’t surprise many supporters because his performances have dipped this season.

After being a main goal threat during the previous campaign, Adomah struggled to prove his worth in the attacking third this time around as he failed to cement a regular place in the team.

For the past few months, he has been in and out of the starting XI and has been competing with Villa’s academy product Green for a starting spot.
