the yorkshire club sales end

[Adalon]

Bradford boss Colin Todd is looking to bolster his depleted squad with four players from the Premiership.

An essential clear-out at the club following relegation has left the Bantams with just 12 senior players on their books, but Todd is hoping the lure of regular first-team football will help persuade youngsters at the top clubs to move to Valley Parade on loan.

He told the club's official website, www.bradfordcityfc.co.uk: "There's a little bit of a budget to play with and on the other side of the coin, hopefully I might be able to get four players on loan from the Premiership for a year as well as trying to bring in free transfers.

"Trying to get the players in won't be easy and we have got be selective, but I am sure clubs like Leeds will help us."
