The experienced striker turned down a deal to stay at Valley Parade after spending almost three months on loan from Coventry City.
Manager Colin Todd has started his search for a replacement. According to reports, Darlington's Clyde Wijnhard was considered. The Dutch player however is no longer an option.
Meanwhile, Todd is already making plans for the future. He wants to sign Owen Morrison from Stockport County when the Bantams emerge from administration.
At present, Todd's hands in the transfer market are effectively tied as he can only secure short term deals.
