Dan Francis Departs to Pursue New Career in Germany

posted in: First Team News, News | 0

We can confirm that Dan Francis has left the club to pursue a career outside of football in Germany.

Dan joined the club this summer, bringing valuable experience from several successful seasons in Germany’s fourth and fifth tiers, where he played for Rot Weiss Ahlen, KFC Uerdingen 05, and TuS Bövinghausen. A former Bantams youth defender, Dan added professionalism and quality to the squad and quickly became a respected figure at the Horsfall.

During his time with us this season, Dan made 28 appearances and contributed an impressive 6 goals, making him our third top goalscorer. His commitment and contributions on and off the pitch have been greatly appreciated by everyone at the club.

We thank Dan for his efforts and wish him all the best as he embarks on this exciting new chapter in Germany. He will always be welcome back at the club in the future.
