He set up City's only goal of the game in the 1-1 draw but will now have the chance to get some valuable minutes under his belt.

Manager Derek Adams had revealed after that fixture that he was considering letting Staunton go out on loan.

He has previously been on loan at Park Avenue, appearing for the club during the 2019-20 campaign.

Staunton's departure was dependent on the Bantams' injury situation with Adams revealing yesterday that his side has virtually everyone available for this weekend, with just Andy Cook and Caolan Lavery out of contention to face Port Vale tomorrow.
