New Stadium Entrance & Club Shop | Sponsorship Opportunity

posted in: Uncategorized | 0

Over the last few months we have been working on a new non match-day stadium entrance which will help safeguard all stadium users and see us comply with Martyn’s Law which is designed to help protect public spaces.

This project has cost the club nothing so far after relying on a team of volunteers and generosity from local businesses. The old club / programme shop, toilets & kit room has been ripped out and refitted with all three spaces now linked together. In the new entrance we will have a reception area, the new club shop and a social space to have a cup of tea or coffee before entering the stadium. Stadium visitors will enter via the current beer garden on Cemetery Road.

If you would like to sponsor this space which will see over 170,000 visitors per year pass through then get in touch with Pete.Kenyon@bpafc.com

Club News: New Signings and Loan Updates

posted in: Uncategorized | 0

Bradford (Park Avenue) is pleased to announce the permanent signing of Benni Ndlovu on a deal until the end of the season. We are also delighted to welcome Sam Straughan-Brown, who joins us on a month-long work experience loan from Doncaster Rovers.

At the same time, we say farewell to Jack Hall and Ted Lavelle, who have returned to Sheffield Wednesday and FC Halifax Town, respectively, following the conclusion of their loan spells. We extend our gratitude to both players and their parent clubs for their contributions during their time with us.

Benni Ndlovu

Benni Ndlovu is a pacey winger who joins Bradford (Park Avenue) after leaving Matlock Town. Benni came through Sheffield FC’s academy, where he developed into a first-team regular and became a fan favorite. Known for his speed, skill, and attacking flair, Benni is set to bring excitement to our attack for the rest of the season.

Sam Straughan-Brown

Sam Straughan-Brown arrives on a short-term loan from Doncaster Rovers. Having been with Doncaster since the age of nine, Sam is highly regarded for his talent and potential. He made his senior debut for Doncaster in an EFL Cup tie against Everton in August 2023 and later signed his first professional contract in October, with manager Grant McCann praising him as one of the best young players he has worked with. Sam also made his League Two debut on New Year’s Day 2024 in a 3–0 victory over Milton Keynes Dons. We are thrilled to have him on board and look forward to seeing his impact on the pitch.

Farewell and Thanks to Sheffield Wednesday Goalkeeper Jack Hall and FC Halifax Town midfielder Ted Lavelle

We bid farewell to goalkeeper Jack Hall and defender Ted Lavelle, who have returned to their parent clubs following successful loan spells. Jack and Ted both played key roles during their time at the club, and their efforts have been greatly appreciated by everyone at Bradford (Park Avenue).

We thank Sheffield Wednesday, FC Halifax Town, and the players themselves for their professionalism and commitment during their time with us and wish them all the best for the future.

Welcome to the Avenue, Benni and Sam! We’re excited to see you in action.
