Matt Clarke will be the odd man out when Bradford City kick off their Northern Ireland tour against Glentoran tonight.

The transfer-listed goalkeeper is the only player who will definitely not be involved in the first pre-season friendly.

And boss Jim Jefferies has made it clear that Clarke, who is now being linked with Totten-ham, will not feature in any of the three games in the next five days.

During their stay, Clarke is practising alongside Gary Walsh and Aidan Davison with goalkeeping coach Mark Prudhoe at City's Newforge training base in Belfast.

But Jefferies said: "There are still plenty of noises from Matt Clarke's camp about other clubs. His agent says it's best for all if he moves on, so therefore if he isn't going to be with us - you concentrate on those who are.

"I would have just brought two goalkeepers, but with Mark Prudhoe over here to work with them, there was no point in leaving one at home so Matt is here for the training.

"Gary Walsh has been superb and will play at least two of the games. He's got the first-team spot and Aidan covered for him for a couple of games at the end of last season when he was injured.

"The situation with Matt is no different. He is back here because nothing has happened for him.

"Things change in this game but right now he is looking to move on elsewhere. Of course, if that does change then he has a few brownie points to make up."

Bolton, Fulham and Ever-ton have all eyed a move for the 27-year-old, and latest reports claim Glenn Hoddle may be interested after failing to sign Blackburn's Alan Kelly.

But Clarke's agent Ian Elliott claims City are pricing him out of the market.

He said: "With Roy Carr-oll and Magnus Hedman both moving, I know there are three or four clubs looking for a goalkeeper.

"Nothing has happened yet because the teams who have been interested aren't prepared to meet Bradford's asking price. They want more than £1.5 million."

Chairman Geoffrey Rich-mond, who will not be travelling to Northern Ireland, has refused to give a price tag and said: "Matt Clarke is on the transfer list and if a club wants to make a bid for him, we will look at it."

Stuart McCall could miss City's game at the Oval after spending all day yesterday in bed feeling un-well. Ashley Ward turned an ankle during a practice match, while Eoin Jess and David Wetherall are coming back to fitness.

Jefferies said: "My intention in the first game is to give everybody a half."
