CITY’S pursuit of a winger is not thought to include Jay Emmanuel-Thomas.

Social media rumours have linked the 24-year-old with the Bantams since his release by League One champions Bristol City.

But the T&A understands that Emmanuel-Thomas, nicknamed Jet, is not on the list of potential wide targets drawn up by Phil Parkinson.

QPR are favourites to land the former Arsenal and Ipswich man as they look to rebuild massively following relegation from the Premier League.

Two names believed to have been considered by City are Joel Grant and Martyn Woolford.

Jamaican international Grant was one of 16 players let go by Yeovil boss Paul Sturrock after they dropped into League Two. The 27-year-old, who scored seven in 57 games for the Glovers, has previously played for Wycombe and Crewe.

Woolford is another free agent after being released in a similar clear-out at League One new boys Millwall, who kept just two of their 20 out-of-contract players.

The West Yorkshire-born winger began his career at York and also played for Scunthorpe, firing them into the second tier with the Wembley winner in the 2009 play-off final, and Bristol City.

He had been at the Den for two and a half years, scoring 13 goals in 98 appearances.

Leeds tried to sign Woolford, 29, in the January transfer window but the deal fell through.

City are in the market for another winger after releasing Mark Yeates and Andy Halliday.

Filipe Morais is the only genuine wide man in the senior squad, other than raw first-year pro Dylan Mottley-Henry.

Parkinson traditionally keeps his cards close to his chest regarding potential signings. He confirmed that City “are currently working on a few things” but would not set a time scale.

Utility man Tony McMahon has moved closer to a permanent switch to Valley Parade after further talks took place with his agent last week. He joined on loan from Blackpool in March and started City’s final four games of the season.
