FORMER Colchester United loanee Abo Eisa has been released by Bradford City.

The 27-year-old is one of eight players to be released by the Bantams, who were beaten in their League Two play-off semi-final by Carlisle United last weekend.

Eisa played 14 times for Colchester while on loan from Shrewsbury Town in the 2018-19 season under John McGreal, scoring twice.

The following campaign, the former Wealdstone youngster joined Scunthorpe United and spent two years there before joining Bradford in the summer of 2021.

Eisa was with the Bantams for two seasons and made 21 league and cup appearances for them, scoring twice.
