Bradford City midfielder Ryan East leaves on season-long loan

Bradford City midfielder Ryan East has joined Conference side Rochdale on a season-long loan.

The 25-year-old joined on a free transfer last summer but, not helped by injuries, made only five League Two starts in his debut season. He came off the bench 13 times.

East weas an unused substitute in the first two games of the season, at Crewe Alexandra on the opening day, and in the League Cup against Accrington Stanley.

He will now spent the rest of the season at Rochdale, who dropped out of the Football League at the end of 2022-23.
