Among his promotion successes was leading Leeds to runners-up spot in 2010, and then taking Huddersfield up via the play-offs two years later. He was sacked by Sunderland late last year.

In a statement the club said: “Grayson has been our No 1 target to take over first-team affairs since the search began earlier this week.

“He will meet the players tomorrow and will be in charge for the Bantams trip to Charlton Athletic on Tuesday. The club will make no further comment at this time.”
