Bradford (Park Avenue) can confirm that Joe Ackroyd has departed the club to pursue football at a higher level.
Joe joined the Avenue ahead of the current campaign and went on to make 35 appearances in all competitions, scoring three goals and providing five assists during his time at the Horsfall Community Stadium. A tenacious and creative midfielder, he was a regular presence in the side and contributed consistently across the season.
Despite still being in the early stages of his career, Joe brought valuable experience with him, having progressed through the Barnsley FC Academy and gained senior experience in both domestic and overseas football prior to arriving at Avenue. His professionalism, work rate, and commitment were evident throughout his spell with the club.
While the club is naturally disappointed to see Joe move on, this opportunity allows him to continue his development and test himself at a higher level.
Everyone at the club would like to place on record their thanks to Joe for his efforts in green and white and wishes him every success in his future career.
