Squad7 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Bradford City

Lamare Bogarde was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market7 Sep 2026

Bradford City sell Harry Ibbitson for $720.0K

Harry Ibbitson has left for Exeter City in a $720.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Words at Bradford City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Stephen Humphrys is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Myles Peart-Harris runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match5 Sep 2026

Bradford City come up short against Plymouth Argyle

Plymouth Argyle left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad7 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Joe Wright

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market24 Aug 2026

Middlesbrough come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Bradford City did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market24 Aug 2026

Harry Ibbitson hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Bradford City can pretend not to have heard.

Market24 Aug 2026

Eyes on Stephen Humphrys again

The phone has started ringing about Stephen Humphrys again, and this time the name on the line is HJK. Bradford City are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words at Bradford City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Antoni Sarcevic is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Bobby Pointon runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Tempers go at Bradford City

The terraces24 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Myles Peart-Harris

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Ninety minutes of Myles Peart-Harris at his very best

Marked 8.07. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Bradford City.

Squad24 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Jenson Metcalfe

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Jenson Metcalfe, and the manager let it.

Bradford City say no — this time

The offer from Sheffield Wednesday for Joe Wright was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Myles Peart-Harris gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Myles Peart-Harris has just signed for Bradford City, and for once the answer mattered.

Market10 Aug 2026

Middlesbrough join the queue for Bobby Pointon

Add another name to the list: Middlesbrough have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Bobby Pointon. The answer from Bradford City has not changed — yet.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Myles Peart-Harris stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Myles Peart-Harris and Bradford City agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Myles Peart-Harris in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bradford City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Max Power signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Max Power and Bradford City agree another 2 years.

Max Power in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bradford City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Joe Wright falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market3 Aug 2026

Talks stall between Bradford City and Joe Wright

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market3 Aug 2026

The clock runs on Max Power's contract

24 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Market3 Aug 2026

Harry Ibbitson is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Bradford City has been clear about where Harry Ibbitson stands, which is more than many ever get.
