West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Mowbray has confirmed that he is prepared to allow striker John Hartson to leave the club on loan.

The 31-year-old Wales international hasn't featured for nearly a month for the Baggies and Mowbray would like to see Hartson in regular action.

He said: "We have had an enquiry or two about John and whenever that happens we have to make a judgement, so at any given time a player may become available.

"Players are contracted to play here, but if we decide something different they have to be professional about it and get on with it if they go out on loan.

"In the meantime, John has to keep working very hard because he is not in the team at the moment."

Meanwhile, out-of-favour goalkeeper Pascal Zuberbuhler has been linked with a return to Switzerland to join Neuchatel Xamax.
