Bradford (Park Avenue) AFC can confirm that forward Myles La Bastide has been released from the club to allow him the opportunity to pursue regular first-team football elsewhere.
Myles departs the Horsfall Community Stadium having made nine appearances during the current campaign, scoring once, and leaves with the club’s best wishes for the next stage of his career.
A product of Bradford (Park Avenue)’s Football Education Programme, Myles’ journey with the club stands as a strong example of the development pathway available at Horsfall. After progressing through the programme, he earned a professional contract in 2023 and went on to gain valuable senior experience in green and white.
During his debut First Team season in 2023/24, Myles made 18 appearances and scored four goals, while also benefiting from loan spells with Frickley Athletic and Pontefract Collieries. He continued that progression in the 2024/25 season, contributing six goals across 23 appearances and establishing himself as a regular attacking option.
With opportunities limited this season, the club has taken the decision to release Myles so he can explore further game time elsewhere and continue his development.
Everyone at Bradford (Park Avenue) would like to thank Myles for his commitment, professionalism, and efforts during his time at the club, and we wish him every success going forward, both on and off the pitch.
