First new signing of the close season, and it’s a new role for a experienced player

We are delighted to announce our first off season signing, in the form of our captain for the last two seasons, Luca Havern. 

Luca has agreed to join our management team in a slight change of role which sees him sign as player/coach for the 23/24 season.

Showing huge loyalty to the club and management team over the last 5 seasons, it’s a significant step for the club and Luca, to replace the large boots left last season when previous player/coach Ryan Toulson left. 

We look forward to seeing Luca playing next season, helping our push for automatic promotion back to the National League North, and his impact off the field with young and old players alike. 

 

Luca Havern

I’m really happy to be staying with the club and to have progressed into a player/coach role. I feel that it is a natural progression for me at this stage in my career and jumped at the chance to continue to work with Bows, Bosh and the players. We are all going to use last seasons disappointment to fuel us to be successful next season. Have a good summer BPA fans and see you all soon, Luca. 

Mark Bower

I am delighted that Luca has agreed to stay with us for another season firstly in a playing capacity but also taking his first step into a coaching role. 

As a player he has been excellent for us over the past few seasons both in his performances and his influence on the players around him on the pitch. 

He has been captain at numerous clubs and brings a wealth of non league experience, has the respect of the players around him, and will be a valuable addition to the coaching staff. 

Dear BPA fans,                          

I would like to thank all those associated with our club for their efforts this season. We now find ourselves in the Northern Premier League next season. This is a result of several years of having the smallest player budget in the league and eventually that caught up with us. That we had survived in the NLN so far is a testament to the efforts of Mark and Danny. 
                         

It is true to say that the National League has changed over the years that we have been in it, with clubs spending much more than when we first entered. Football in the UK is a losing business proposition and a club like ours cannot afford to be losing money every year. The first priority is for the club to survive and then to be as financially viable as possible. This is our target. The next priority is to provide the first team with a competitive player budget, so success on the playing field can generate more commercial success. 

I believe we are now in a stronger position as a club than when we first entered the National League and much closer to sustainability. Some improvements to the stadium have been made, but more will be done. The Junior and Academy sections have been developed from scratch so that we can provide new generations of players and their families. That is ultimately building a better future for the club. My aim remains to create success on the field combined with sound finances.

Gareth Roberts
Bradford (Park Avenue) AFC Chairman

We can confirm today that Academy player Myles La-Bastide has today penned his first professional contract with Bradford (Park Avenue), signing a 2 year deal with the club.

Myles first appeared for the First Team in our County Cup match vs Brighouse Town, and made his first league appearance against Chester in February.

Since then, La-Bastide has made 4 starts in our last 4 games, and helped Avenue gain 8 points out of 12, including a goal vs Southport and assisting Harrison Hoppers goal against Banbury.

Speaking on the signing, First Team manager Mark Bower said;

“I’m delighted to get this one over the line. Myles has proved his ability over the last month while playing in the first team, from scoring his first professional goal two weeks ago, and grabbing an assist in our last match.”

“It goes to show the great work the Academy staff are doing, with this being our second professional contract from the Academy this season. A huge credit goes to Thomas McStravick and Pat McGuire.”

We also spoke to Myles on his signing, you can watch the interview on our YouTube channel below.
