The 29-year-old striker scored four goals and created 12 chances in 16 Championship appearances for Rotherham during the 2015-16 campaign.
The former Newcastle United and Blackburn Rovers man had a pass accuracy of 57% and a shot accuracy of 57%, and won 57 headers, seven dribbles and seven tackles.
Best is a decent striker, and he should able to find a club either in the Championship or in the Premier League before the start of the 2016-17 campaign.
Training with West Brom in pre-season is going to be beneficial to him in maintaining his fitness.
The Baggies will kick off their 2016-17 Premier League campaign with an away game against Crystal Palace.
