Defender set for summer move if West Brom are relegated
West Brom defender Carl Hoefkens expects to leave the club if the Baggies are relegated from the Premier League.
Tony Mowbray's men remain at the foot of the table and are seven points from safety after Saturday's 1-1 home draw against Bolton.
With only eight games remaining the Belgian, who joined West Brom from Stoke for £750,000 in August 2007, admits he will probably be on the move in the summer.
"If we are relegated, the chances are high that I leave the club," Hoefkens told
www.sporza.be.
"We had a bad weekend with the draw against Bolton because the teams close to us won.
"We should not give up, but that will not be easy. I was expecting more (this season) but we can only blame ourselves because our ranking is due to our mistakes.
"We have made a number of stupid defensive mistakes and lost many games."
Frustrating
Hoefkens has not played since the 3-2 home defeat to Newcastle on February 7 and is at a loss as to why he is not in Mowbray's plans.
The former Germinal player claims that the Baggies were in better form when he was involved and he does not enjoy looking on from the sidelines.
He added: "I don't understand why I lost my place in the starting XI.
"When I played, we took many points. I have to respect the coach's choice but it's frustrating."
