Igor Julio has joined West Ham United on loan for the season, subject to the usual regulatory approval.
The 27-year-old has made 50 appearances since joining us in July 2023.
This season he will play under former Albion head coach Graham Potter at West Ham.
Men’s first-team head coach Fabian Hurzeler said, “With the competition we have at centre-back, and Igor’s desire to play, this gives him that chance.
“He’s a great professional, and we fully appreciate his appetite to play. We will be closely monitoring his progress and we wish him well for the season.”
The Brazilian signed for Albion from Fiorentina, where he faced West Ham in the Europa Conference League Final in 2023.
