Blackpool plan talks with midfielder as Bristol City let player head out the exit door

Blackpool will apparently hold further discussions with Grant Ward over his future at the club. His contract at Bloomfield Road expires in a couple of weeks and he is due to become a free agent again as things stand.

The 28-year-old was released at the end of the last campaign but he eventually re-signed for the club in October on a short-term basis. However, he has only played twice since then and is facing an uncertain future.

Boss Michael Appleton has provided this update on his situation, as per Lancashire Live: “I’ve had a little bit of a discussion with him last week. We’ll sit down again this week and go through it.

“It’s not certainly one that I’m in a rush or urgent to get sorted, if I’m being honest. There are certain things that are far more pressing and that’s not being disrespectful, it’s just there’s a queue and there’s certain things that you have to deal with that are more important at this moment in time.”
