Bradford City tie down goalkeeper

Bradford City have quelled any fears over the future of Sam Walker by handing the goalkeeper a new contract.

The popular 33-year-old has put pen to paper on a two-year deal after helping the Bantams seal promotion to League One.

He said: “The club is more than ready to play at League One level, the fanbase is massive and we have to harness that this coming season.

“The energy in the city following the Fleetwood game was amazing and it was great to be a part of. We are looking to continue that throughout the next season and once again make this a special campaign.”
