Bradford City could risk losing striker Nahki Wells to a bigger club having initially only handed him a one-year extension to his contract.That’s the verdict of Bermuda Hogges owner Paul Scope, who believes Wells is firmly in the driving seat to either negotiate a much-improved deal at Valley Parade or move on to pastures new.Despite emerging as one of the Bantams chief attacking threats, City decided to only extend Wells’ contract by one year last month although they are now keen to tie him down to a longer deal following his recent scoring exploits.The Bermuda international bagged a hat-trick against Northampton Town and scored in Saturday’s 3-1 defeat against Cheltenham Town his 12th goal of the season.Scope believes by merely activating a one-year extension to Wells’ current contract, City made a potentially costly mistake and would only have themselves to blame if he jumped ship.“I was surprised they only gave Nahki a one-year extension and now they’ve put themselves in a situation where they’re potentially vulnerable and they really can’t complain about it,” said the former national team assistant coach.“So, I’m not saying Nahki should leave Bradford but they had better offer him good terms. If you go back to when Shaun (Goater) and Kyle (Lightbourne) were playing, when you start scoring goals at any level, higher placed teams will come and get you.“Nahki’s 21 years old, he’s not 16, so he should be looking to be on a good wage. To my mind, Bradford made a business decision by extending his contract without improving it and I think they have left themselves vulnerable.”Should he heed the advice of ex-Bantams striker Dean Windass and stay at the League Two side, Scope believes Wells, formerly of the Hogges, could earn more bargaining chips to improve his contract or attract suitors, as long as he continues to find the net.It’s understood scouts from Reading United and Charlton Athletic have watched the former Dandy Town man in action this term.Reading have just won the Championship title and will be playing in the Premier League next season while Charlton have been promoted to the Championship.“If I was Nahki, I would either negotiate hard with Bradford or say ‘let’s see how it goes next season as you took your option (to offer a one-year extension)’,” he said. “If he keeps scoring goals next season he’ll be in an even better position to improve his contract or take a better offer elsewhere.“Since I saw Nahki play against Barnet a few months ago, when he scored his first goal for a while, he’s gone on from strength to strength.“He’s blossomed from there and he will have some good opportunities going forward either by staying at Bradford or moving elsewhere.”Scope reckons Wells’ scoring feats, coupled with Reggie Lambe’s encouraging displays in the MLS for Toronto FC, are a sure-fire sign Bermuda football is returning to the days when Goater and Lightbourne were making their mark in the pro ranks.Although Toronto have lost their opening eight league games, Lambe has resembled a chasm of light amidst the gloom, bagging the first goals of his pro career in Toronto’s recent 3-2 defeat against Real Salt Lake.“I’ve been hearing from Paul Mariner (Toronto’s director of player development) that Reggie has been playing brilliantly even though the team’s results haven’t been going well,” said Scope, who helped facilitate Lambe’s move to the Canadian outfit.“That’s why Reggie’s kept his place in the team; if a team is losing it’s often the new players who are the first to go. It’s almost like going back to the days of Shaun and Kyle, which is exciting because I wasn’t sure if those days would come back to be honest.”
