CITY have begun clearing the decks after allowing three of their loan players to return to parent clubs.

Callum Cooke, Dylan Connolly and Jamie Devitt have all gone back to Peterborough, Wimbledon and Blackpool respectively after their loans expired.

Dylan Mottley-Henry, who rejoined the Bantams on a short-term deal in January, has also been released.

A club statement said: “Given the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the remainder of the 2019/2020 season and its conclusion, Bradford City is in no position to extend the aforementioned deals indefinitely.”
