January deadline day was a busy one for Bristol City.

The Championship club signed attacking duo Anis Mehmeti, from Wycombe Wanderers, and Harry Cornick, from Luton Town as replacements for Antoine Semenyo.

They fell short in their pursuits of Wimbledon left-back Jack Currie and Crystal Palace defender Jake O’Brien but were able to clear space on their wage bill as both Chris Martin and Timm Klose left via mutual agreement.

The transfer window may be closed but the South West club will have decisions to make on the future of more of their players over the next few months as a number of them are out of contract this summer.

We’ve compiled a list of the players that will leave Ashton Gate this month as things stand…

Nikita Haikin

Goalkeeper Nikita Haikin signed a short-term deal when he joined City as a free agent in January.

He’s arrived as Dan Bentley’s replacement and looks likely to be Max O’Leary’s backup so he may have to earn a new deal in training.

Tomas Kalas

Once one of the first names on the teamsheet, injuries have meant Tomas Kalas has rarely been seen in a City shirt this term.

The 29-year-old is a quality centre-back when he’s at his best but is a high earner and you wonder whether he could depart in the summer.

Jay Dasilva

Jay Dasilva finds himself down the pecking order after Cam Pring’s impressive form at left-back in recent months.

He was linked with a move to Coventry City in January and looks likely to leave in the summer.

Andy King

Trusted Nigel Pearson lieutenant Andy King has shown his versatility during his 18-month spell at City.

He signed a one-year player-coach deal last summer so could stay on in a coaching capacity even if his playing days come to an end.

Han-Noah Massengo

Han-Noah Massengo has been outcast by Pearson this season after refusing to sign a new deal and joined AJ Auxerre on loan in January.

The French midfielder, who remains a fan favourite, cost a sizeable fee and now looks set to leave as a free agent.

Harvey Wiles-Richards

20-year-old goalkeeper Harvey Wiles-Richards has never made a senior appearance for City.

His contract is up this summer but given his age, it would not be a huge surprise if he was given an extension.

Max O’Leary

The City academy product replaced Dan Bentley as the Robins’ number one earlier this season and has produced some impressive displays since.

The 26-year-old is not yet the finished article but is improving.

There is a one-year clause in his deal that will surely be triggered if he doesn’t sign a contract extension.

Zak Vyner

Zak Vyner looked destined to leave the club in the summer but has fought his way back into contention and grown into the leader of their back four.

There is a one-year clause in his deal that will surely be triggered if he doesn’t sign a contract extension.
