COLIN Doyle has confirmed he is leaving Valley Parade.

The Republic of Ireland international played 88 times for City since joining them for ÂŖ1 from Blackpool in 2016.

He had been offered a new deal at the end of last season but it was believed to be for a lower wage than he had previously been on.

Doyle said on Twitter: "I just wanted to say a big thanks to all the Bradford fans for the fantastic support they have given me over the last two seasons.

"Unfortunately I have just found out from the club that they have decided to go a different route. I loved playing in front of you every week."

Wife Rebecca tweeted: "Gutted for my husband after seven weeks to find out like this, while we were away on holiday."
