Oji Gone?

Sam Oji appears to have been released, with his profile no longer listed on the official website.

Oji's contract was up in January, and he was named as part of the squad for the Oldham match on the 17th. However his profile has since been removed from the squad list suggesting he has also been cut from the squad, following Garry Breen out of the door.

Assuming that Oji has departed, as it has not been confirmed by the club, the squad will be down to just 21 contracted players of which two will not finish the season with the Bulls due to their loan contracts expiring. Sam Hewson will have departed with five matches left, while Jennison Myrie-Williams will miss the final match even if his loan is extended to the maximum 93 days.

Of the 21 neither Craig Jones nor Jack McLeod appear to be considered ready for League One football. Jones' only first team action was a loan spell at Conf North side Redditch, while McLeod's time this season has been limited to two sub appearances in August. Stephen O'Leary will miss the bulk of the remainder of the season through injury, and the status of both Clint Easton and Bradley Hudson-Odoi remain unclear.

While Easton has been generally listed as having a hamstring injury for the past six weeks, Hudson-Odoi has not once been declared an injury victim, nor has he been seen on the pitch for over two months. He remains the club's second top scorer at a time when a striker is required in the matchday sixteen.
