Bristol City head coach Liam Manning was unable to confirm whether striker Nahki Wells had played his final game for the club as they exited the Championship play-offs.

Wells, 34, is out of contract this summer but has led the Robins' forward line this season, scoring 10 goals.

Manning said in March he wanted the Bermuda striker to extend his stay with the club and that he was "hugely instrumental" within the playing group.

However, when asked following the 6-0 aggregate loss to Sheffield United whether Wells would be at the club in 2025-26, he said there was nothing he could say on the matter.

"I think I've made my point quite clear in what I think of Nahki and what I do with Nahki," Manning told BBC Radio Bristol.

"They're the bits now that the discussions have to happen."
