What happened last season?

Why it matters for Bradford City

The team's unity will be crucial to their hopes of repeating their play-off finish, with some summer departures, but also new signings like Jake Beesley.

What comes next?

The club has made contingencies for the departed players, with Callum Connolly and Henry Cartwright providing fresh options in midfield, and Adam Phillips bolstering the goalscoring department. With Antoni Sarcevic and Bobby Pointon also on deck, City can claim to possess arguably the strongest set of goalscoring midfielders in the division. The arrival of Macaulay Gillesphey, an imposing centre-half with promotion credentials, has also strengthened the team's defense. As the new season approaches, Bradford City is looking to build on their success, with a focus on unity and a strong squad, and fans will be eager to see how they perform, with the team currently 26 points behind leaders Lincoln, and having scored 58 goals, with a +7 goal difference.
