A host of clubs are showing an interest in former Arsenal, West Brom and Hull City star Jay Simpson, who has returned to Britain following a spell in Thailand.

The 25-year-old joined Buriram United last year on a two-year deal, but he has now agreed a mutual termination of his contract.

Simpson is now back in England, getting fit and is already talking with a number of clubs with interest from the Premier League and Championship.

Leon Callander of Straight Ace Management, who represent the player, confirmed talks were ongoing.

“We can confirm that talks are ongoing about Jay, he enjoyed his time in the Far East but is now looking forward to being back in British football," he said.

“At 25, Jay has some of his best years in football ahead of him and given the interest in him it is clear a number of clubs are of the same opinon.”
