Crewe Alexandra v Bradford City: Experienced duo axed by City manager Taylor

The experienced duo were among seven out-of-contract players shown the door by the Bantams as Taylor continues his rebuilding job.

Others heading out of Valley Parade this summer include right-back Jonathan Bateson and midfielder Steve O'Leary, whose stay was marred by injury. Youngsters Luke Sharry, Matt Convey and Rory Carson will also leave.

It is Glennon and Clarke who are the biggest names on the list with Taylor feeling neither fitted into his plans.

Glennon joined City in January from Huddersfield and has made 17 appearances, while Clarke is just one short of a century of games in Bradford colours after being signed by Colin Todd in 2006.

Taylor is looking to bring in six or seven new faces.

Among those is likely to be Wycombe Wanderers' Luke Oliver, who has impressed the Bantams manager during a loan spell at the club.
