“I am a hard-working player who will give my all for the team. The manager has shown great faith in me, so it is now up to me to repay him with performances on the pitch.

“I will thrive in front of a large crowd, so cannot wait to perform in front of a full Valley Parade. This club belongs in a higher division, and I want to be a part of the journey going forward.”

And on adding another welcome forward addition, Bantams boss Derek Adams said: “We are pleased to have been able to welcome Theo into our squad, ahead of this evening’s transfer deadline.

“It has been no secret we have wanted and needed another striker through the door before the window closed, and we are more than confident in Theo’s ability.

“He is a powerful, experienced striker with a keen eye for goal, who has found the net - at this level and above - throughout his career.

“We are looking forward to having him around the rest of the squad, and seeing him play in Bradford City colours.”
