Kim Do-Heon has ended his spell in English football after returning back to his homeland and signing for his first club Suwon Bluewings for £360,000. 

The 27-year-old Koren Republic international initially joined Albion on trial in December 2008 and signed the following month after impressing then boss Tony Mowbray.

However first-team opportunities were limited for the Korean as Albion pushed for automatic promotion that season.  The midfielder made just four appearances, plus one from the bench, during the remained of the campaign but finished the season in style scoring Albion’s first goal against QPR as the Baggies went on to secured their first title in more than 80 years.

The £500,000 signing from Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma made his Premier League debut against Arsenal on the opening day of the Premier League season however saw his first-team opportunities once again limited and featured a following eight times in the starting XI and seven times from the bench last term.

In total, Kim made 26 appearances for the club, including 13 subs appearances, scoring twice.
