Bulls loanee Kingsley James is one of four players released by Port Vale boss Micky Adams this morning.
The former Sheff Utd trainee, 21, followed manager Adams to Vale Park in the summer of 2011, but only made 12 appearances for the Valiants before his move to Edgar Street.
James, who played 21 times for the Bulls after arriving in late January, is joined on the exit list by veteran defender Darren Purse, forward Calvin Andrew, and Clayton McDonald, brother of Bulls defender Rod.
