Ashworth, who cut his teeth in the game at Peterborough and Cambridge, served as Albion's Technical Director from 2007 to 2012 - and was credited with bringing in a host of talented players during his time at the club.

Following a spell with England he joined Brighton - and has had success with the Seagulls.

However - the club has now confirmed Ashworth has left his post and been placed on gardening leave ahead of taking up a new role which is believed to be a similar position at Newcastle United.
