Bradford City seem resigned to losing striker Ashley Ward to Town with discussions currently ongoing. Town manager Joe Royle revealed his interest in the much-travelled attacker earlier today.

Bradford Managing Director Shaun Harvey says that a deal is not likely to be too far away: "Ipswich have approached us in respect of Ashley and the clubs are now trying to come to a mutual arrangement as soon as possible."

Both a loan move and a free transfer are possibilities being discussed.
