Bradford (Park Avenue) are pleased to announce the signing of experienced central defender Conor Qualter ahead of the 2025/26 season.
The 31-year-old arrives from Ossett United, where he made 38 appearances last season and scored once. His no-nonsense style and consistent performances were a key part of Ossett’s impressive turnaround in the second half of the campaign — something that caught the eye of Avenue’s management team.
Manager Craig Elliott spoke highly of his latest addition:
“Conor is a player I know very well. He has a great winning mentality. He’s a big, strong lad and will give us lots of aggression, plus he’s very versatile in a few positions. He played a big part in Ossett United’s revival in the second part of the season. Me and Danny (Ellis) both liked his no-nonsense style and he is the type of player we need for next season.”
Qualter started his career at Leeds United before moving to FC Halifax Town, gaining senior experience through loans at Northwich Victoria, Kendal Town, and Ossett Town. In more recent years, he’s represented Selby Town and Tadcaster Albion, before making his mark at Ossett.
He also brings international pedigree, having featured in the Republic of Ireland Under-19 setup earlier in his career.
A tough, experienced presence at the back, Qualter adds depth, character, and leadership as Bradford (Park Avenue) build towards a strong 2025/26 campaign.
Welcome to the Horsfall, Conor
