After six solid seasons at West Bromwich Albion, Nigerian international Semi Ajayi has penned a heartfelt farewell message to the club, its fans, and everyone connected to the Hawthorns. His contract, which expires in June 2025, will not be renewed — officially ending an era of loyalty and resilience.

📝 “I’ll Never Forget…” — Ajayi’s Goodbye

Taking to his Instagram page, the 31-year-old wrote:

“Thank you to everyone connected with @WBA for an incredible six years.
To the staff, my teammates, and the fans, thank you for accepting me and embracing me in a way that truly made me feel at home.
I’ll never forget the special bonds and memories we’ve built since I joined the club.”

From joining in 2019 after a standout spell at Rotherham United, to becoming a fan favorite for his aerial presence and last-ditch defending, Ajayi made 177 appearances, scoring 13 goals and providing three assists — no small feat for a centre-back.

🇳🇬 Opinion: Ajayi Leaves with His Head Held High

In a football world where loyalty is rare, Ajayi’s six-year commitment to the Baggies deserves applause. He wasn't just a squad player — he was a leader, a warrior, and a key part of the team that earned promotion to the Premier League in 2020.

His emotional exit is not just a farewell — it’s a reminder that club legends aren’t only made in the top leagues, but also in the hearts of fans who appreciate hard work and humility.

Now heading into free agency, Ajayi is expected to attract interest from clubs across Europe and beyond — and rightly so.

At 31, Ajayi still has plenty to offer. Whether he stays in England or looks abroad, one thing is clear: he’s not done yet. His experience, versatility, and international pedigree with the Super Eagles will make him a valuable asset wherever he lands.
