Bradford (Park Avenue) AFC can today confirm that both Brady Coldwell & Harry Varley have agreed terms with the first team.
Scholars Manager & Coach Owen Murphy had this to say on the signing;
“I’m delighted for Harry & Brady after signing non contract forms with the first team this afternoon.
“The hard work that both players have put in so far this season has been incredible and now they both have what they’ve deserved but now they must work even harder to stay with the first team.
He also spoke on Striker Harry Varley;
“Harry is a goalscorer, ever since he started with us in the academy, all he’s done is score goals. And scored many types of goals, in particular some stunning free kicks & overhead kicks.
“I think he has some real potential to be that special type of goalscorer, hopefully the deal gives him the confidence to become that”.
He also spoke on Defender Brady Coldwell;
“Brady is a player that can play RB & LB, he’s energetic, offers great quality in the ball and particularly on set pieces.
“He has had to be a little more patient than Harry, but now he has the opportunity, I’m sure he’ll be one to watch in the near future. “
Owen also added this, on the BPA Player pathway, which ANYONE under 19 can sign up for below

“What we do day to day in the academy is done for one reason and that is to help players progress. Last year we achieved that & this year we’re achieving it again.
“We hope to continue to provide Danny & the first team with more academy players in the near future.”

As exclusively announced in Saturday’s matchday programme, Bradford (Park Avenue) AFC are delighted to announce a new partnership with MIND in Bradford.
Mind in Bradford was set up more than 30 years ago by a group of people who were looking for more mental health and wellbeing support. The organisation became affiliated to national Mind but is still an independent charity which relies on its own resources to provide award-winning local services to people in Bradford, Airedale, Wharfedale and Craven.
Hayley Smith, Communications Manager for Mind in Bradford said:
“We know that stigma still exists around mental health. We want to remind people visiting this community stadium that we’re here to help. Guide-Line provides emotional, confidential support every day of the year from 8am until midnight. Whether you prefer to speak to someone over the phone or use the live chat service, please reach out and don’t suffer alone.”
Avenue’s Commercial Director Calum Cullen also had this to say on the new partnership:
‘Bringing in a mental health partner to this football club is great news. MIND are a fantastic organisation and are really helping in an area still seen as a taboo subject. The guide line is a fantastic initiative, and it’s a pleasure to put our backing into the project. I would like to echo Hayleys words – if you are struggling, please reach out, there are people that can help and assist you.’
The new partnership will see MIND advertising around the pitch at the Horsfall Community Stadium.

Bradford (Park Avenue) AFC can today confirm the loan signing of 20-year-old Goalkeeper Kieren Flavell, on a one-month deal with the Club.
Kieren has been with the Reds’ academy since the age of eight, progressing through the age groups before signing as a first-year scholar in July 2020.
The agile goalkeeper has represented England at youth level, and also featured amongst the substitutes for Barnsley’s u23s during the 19/20 Professional Development League campaign.
Flavell has also made 8 league appearances on the bench for Barnsley’s First Team as substitute goalkeeper, 6 of which were this season (23/24).
Two serious knee injuries have hampered the 20-year-old’s playing time over the last few seasons, but Flavell is back fit and ready to show the form that previously caught the attention of England’s youth teams.
We’d like to put on record our thanks to Barnsley FC, for their help in getting this deal over the line.
Flavell is available for selection immediately in Saturday’s away trip to Warrington Rylands. Stay tuned to our socials!
