Forward, Nahki Wells has announced that he will leave Bristol City upon expiry of his contract on 30 June 2025.
Wells was offered a new contract but following discussions with the club who are now managed by Gerhard Struber following Liam Manning’s move to Norwich, the 35-year-old decided to leave Ashton Gate at the end of June.
During his five-and-a-half year spell at Ashton Gate following his move from Burnley in January 2020, Wells scored 48 goals in 237 appearances for the Robins who last season reached the Championship play-off semi-finals, where they lost 6-0 on aggregate to Sheffield United.
Following confirmation of his departure, Wells told bcfc.co.uk that he would never forget his experiences at the club.
“Over the past five-and-half years, I’ve built a massive connection with so many people at Bristol City, from the staff at the Robins High Performance Centre and the fans at Ashton Gate to the many amazing people in the local community.
“We’ve created so many special memories that will live with me forever. You’ve taken me in as one of your own and made my family feel at home from the moment I joined the club.
“The moment on the pitch at Ashton Gate finding out we’d made the play-off places is something I will never forget, celebrating something we worked so hard to achieve with the fans who backed us the whole way.
“I wish you all the best, up the City.”
Chairman, Jon Lansdown paid tribute to Wells for his professional attitude on and off the pitch and work with the club’s foundation in the community.
“I’d like to thank Nahki for everything he has given to Bristol City in his time here.
“He has been an exceptional role model on and off the pitch, contributing significantly both to the first team and to the development of a number of our young players, and also helping the Robins Foundation to make a difference in our community.
“We wish Nahki all the best for the future.”
