Bristol City have released veteran duo Chris Martin and Timm Klose, six months before their contracts were due to expire at Ashton Gate.
With 30 minutes to go before the 11pm January transfer deadline, City confirmed that both players have left the club “by mutual consent” with the Robins unable to find any takers for them over the course of the window.
Martin’s last start under Nigel Pearson was against Lincoln City in the Carabao Cup in November and with the emergence of Sam Bell and Tommy Conway from the club’s academy this season plus the expected deadline day arrival of Harry Cornick, finds himself further down the striker hierarchy in BS3.
