Bradford City have confirmed that Tyler Smith and Harambee Stars winger Adam Wilson are not part of their plans for the upcoming season.
Both players, who still have a year remaining on their contracts, have been permitted to seek new clubs. Smith joined the Bantams permanently last summer from Hull City after a successful loan spell, but struggled to make an impact, scoring just three goals in 37 appearances.
On his part, Adam Wilson, signed from Welsh side The New Saints last August, made only eight appearances before suffering a serious hamstring injury against Stockport County in December, which sidelined him for the remainder of the season.
