Langstaff joined York City from Gateshead in June 2018 and arrives at Bradford (Park Avenue) immediately and will be available for Mark Bower as the team travel to Altrincham this Saturday.

Mark Bowers side return to The Horsfall Stadium on February 23rd after a long break between home fixtures for a huge clash against Chester FC. With the most recent home fixture postponed the club is targeting a large crowd for what will be the only home match at Horsfall in February.

posted in: First Team News, News | 0

Bradford Park Avenue Midfielder Chris Dawson has joined Grantham Town for the next month.

The short term loan will see Chris join newly appointed joint managers Paul Rawden and Russell Cousins at the Gingerbreads who are looking to bring fresh quality into their squad ahead of their first match in charge on Tuesday as they host South Shields.

With starting opportunities limited recently and a lack of game time, Mark Bower feels a short spell with Grantham to get minutes under his belt is the ideal solution for Chris and the club :

“Chris has been short of game time recently and we feel a month of first team action elsewhere will prepare him for our final few months of the season on his return.”

Everyone at Bradford Park Avenue wish Chris the best of luck for his spell at Grantham Town.
