CITY fans hoping to see Romoney Crichlow back next season are likely to be disappointed.

The defender is looking for a new club this summer after his contract was not renewed by Huddersfield.

That has inevitably had Bantams supporters keeping their fingers crossed that he could be lured back on a permanent basis after his season-long loan.

But it is understood that Crichlow is targeting a move to a higher level and does not want to play in League Two again.

Crichlow made 41 appearances on loan for City and scored once - the dramatic last-gasp winner at Northampton last month.

He put out a farewell to the Valley Parade faithful on Twitter after the play-off exit to Carlisle.

Crichlow said: “Physical and mental pain all over that. Sorry we couldn’t give you that fairy-tale ending Bantams.

“Thank you for everything. It’s been an honour to wear the shirt and perform in front of such great fans all year.”
