We are delighted to announce today that Midfielder Jamie Spencer has joined the club from Guiseley. Jamie will be well known to the Green Army, featuring over 80 times between 2016 and 2019, bagging 5 goals. A very popular player wherever he has played, we are excited to see him back at the Horsfall.

On the signing Jamie had this to say; ‘It feels good to be back, Mark and Danny have been instrumental in my decision with their plans and expectations for the forthcoming season.

With more games and the ever increasing number of full time and hybrid clubs in our league makes it even more challenging, but one that I am looking forward to.’

Equally happy, Mark Bower added; ‘I’m really pleased to have secured the signing of Jamie. We know he’s a talented player from his first spell with us but he’s now become more mature and experienced and I expect him to be one of our leaders both on the pitch and in our dressing room.

He is a player with the ability to play in a higher league and we have challenged him to realise that potential by doing consistently well for us.’

Welcome back to the club Jamie!

The club would like to issue the below update regarding the playing squad.

Bradford (Park Avenue) would like to provide supporters with an update on our squad following the end of the season.

Having announced earlier this week the departures of Mark Ross and Nicky Clee, we can also confirm that Jordan Windass, Akeem Hinds and Luke Rawson will not be offered contracts for next season and will therefore be leaving the club. We would like to wish all the players the best of luck for the future and thank them for their efforts whilst representing The Avenue.

Following the end of their loan spells Lewis Knight and Taylor Ragan have returned to their parent clubs. Again we would like to thank them for their efforts whilst with us.

Mitch Lund, Dylan Mottley-Henry, Harrison Hopper and Sam Fielding are all contracted for next season.

Discussions are taking place with the remaining members of the squad and we hope to be in a position to make further announcements in the coming days and weeks.

Mark Ross will leave the club this summer at the expiry of his contract. He has been an integral part of our team for several seasons and a firm favourite amongst supporters.
Mark has a thriving business which is taking up more of his time and he has decided to step away from football for the time being to focus more on his work.
Assistant manager Danny Boshell said ” Rossy has been a model pro for us in his time at the club and a real Mr reliable.
He’s a tremendous athlete and his level of fitness would put many full time pro’s to shame and has consistently performed for us week in, week out at right back and in the centre of our defence. He will be a big loss.”
Everyone at the club thanks Rossy for his loyalty and service to the Avenue and wishes him the best of luck. He will be welcome back to the Horsfall at any time in the future.

Following the end of the 2021/22 season, the club can announce that popular player Nicky Clee will be leaving the club at the expiry of his contract.

The 38 year old joined the club in 2017 and was a key member of the squad that reached the National League North play offs in 2018 and 2019. After a short spell away, Nicky returned to the club and has continued to be a firm fans favourite with his technical ability and wand of a left foot.

Manager Mark Bower said, “Nicky has been a fantastic servant to BPA. Not only has he produced for us on the pitch, he has been a great influence in our dressing room amongst his teammates and in particular our younger players. To still be playing at this level, in his late thirties is a testament to how well he has looked after himself.”

Everyone at the Avenue wishes Nicky all the best and thank him for his commitment to the club and we look forward to seeing him at a game at The Horsfall in the future.
