Former Leeds United and Millwall forward Steve Morison is among the favourites to take charge of Bradford City’s League Two rivals Sutton United.

Morison is currently in charge of non-league outfit Hornchurch, having taken the reins in a shock move earlier this year. However, he is among the BetVictor favourites to succeed Matt Gray as Sutton boss.

Sutton wielded the axe at the weekend following a humiliating 8-0 defeat to Stockport County. Mark Bonner, recently dismissed by Cambridge United, is the BetVictor favourite to step into Gray’s shoes at 5/1.

Morison is priced at 10/1, behind Steve Cotterill and Jason Goodliffe. The 40-year-old has had one managerial spell in the EFL, at Cardiff City, but his reign was brought to an end in September 2022.

He has been linked with a number of vacancies since his Bluebirds exit but a return to the EFL has not materialised.

As a player, Morison scored five goals across 42 appearances for Leeds.

He is remembered more fondly by fans of Millwall, who he represented in three separate spells.
