Bradford cancel Petta's contract
Bradford have cancelled midfielder Bobby Petta's contract
Petta is keen to join Australian side Adelaide Utd
Bradford have cancelled the contract of midfielder Bobby Petta.
The move is to allow Rotterdam-born Petta, 31, to join Australian league outfit Adelaide United.
Petta began his career at Feyenoord, before joining Ipswich, where after four years he moved on to Celtic, who sent him on a short loan to Fulham.
He joined Darlington in February 2005 and moved to Bradford on a free transfer last summer, since when he has made 23 League appearances.
He didn't appear in many games, and I never saw him play, but judging by the comments from fans on the mailing list he didn't do very well. I kind of imagined he might be one of those players with an unusual style of play that didn't endear him to the average fan, but was effective nonetheless (cf. Etienne Verveer, Richard Liburd) but he was hauled off early in games so often that he hardly got a chance... or else he really was just crap!
