We regret to announce that today’s match against Heaton Stannington has been postponed due to a frozen pitch. Despite the best efforts of the grounds team and officials, the conditions have made the surface unplayable.

We now turn our attention to Tuesday night, when we host Pontefract Collieries at Horsfall Community Stadium. Remember, entry is free for all, so bring your friends and family and join the Green Army as we continue our push for promotion.

Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to see you on Tuesday to cheer on the Avenue!

Bradford (Park Avenue) can confirm that goalkeeper Craig Ellison has departed the club through mutual consent to join Congleton Town.

Ellison, affectionately known as “Ello,” made 11 appearances this season, adding to his four appearances during the previous campaign.

Reflecting on his time at the club, Craig shared the following message with supporters:

“It’s been a pleasure! Thank you to the fans for all the support over the two seasons. Frustrated not to have featured as much as I’d like recently due to injury, but that’s football as a veteran. Hopefully, the lads secure promotion and get the club back where it deserves to be!”

We thank Craig for his contributions on and off the pitch during his time at Horsfall Community Stadium and wish him all the best at Congleton Town.

Donations can help make a difference to bringing in players the manager wants.

McCourt, 29, came through the youth ranks at Leicester City and has played more than 100 games in the Football League for Chesterfield, Northampton Town, Swindon Town, and Barnsley. After being signed by Sol Campbell at then-Football League club Macclesfield Town, McCourt returned to Chesterfield for two seasons in the National League.

He left for Warrington Rylands in 2022 before moving to Step 2 side Buxton under Avenue manager Craig Elliott. Most recently, he has been with Ashton United, and enjoyed a loan spell with Warrington Rylands in November..

Manager Craig Elliott expressed his enthusiasm about McCourt’s arrival:

“Jak is a player who did fantastic for me at my previous club.

“He has vast experience and can dictate a game which is an area I feel we have lacked. He is also a big character for the dressing room which I feel this group needs.

“Added to this, I’m looking forward to welcoming Jak to my management team as he starts his own journey as a player-coach.”

McCourt himself shared his excitement:

“I am delighted to be joining this club and working with Craig again. I have worked with Craig at Buxton, and to be given this opportunity to be joining back up with him as a player-coach was just something I couldn’t turn down.

“I can offer a lot of experience both on the pitch and off the pitch, and by joining here as a player-coach, it’s the start of a new journey for myself, something that I am really looking forward to and getting stuck into.”

Bradford (Park Avenue) fans can look forward to seeing McCourt in action as we travel to Heaton Stannington tomorrow.
