"I felt I had no choice but to leave after becoming unsettled at the club for various reasons.
"I have enjoyed my time at Rochdale, including the winning goal in the play-off semi-final and I wish all the players and fans all the best, but I believe I was stagnating at the club.
"I am now hoping to find myself a new club before the start of the season and try and get back to playing in the Championship like I was at Bradford.
"I believe there is some interest in me and I am determined to push myself on.
