Clayton Donaldson

If all done - why can’t you now share?

 

Is one a centre mid by any chance who's played under Bowyer before?

 

As it appears it is Donaldson I think he brings the experience we need and possible leadership we have been talking about. I know people will rightly bring his age up but we have young legs elsewhere

 

Look a fe post above. He has

 

Fair play? Wasn't it the tweet posted early on in the thread that more or less named Donaldson?

 

Which positions do the 2 deals close play

 

Thought you must have had personal experience of his hand

 

Let’s not get excited about the next 2 yet. It’s after 7pm and still no news

Are we sure it isn’t just Anderson, signing his new contract offer

 

City have tonight secured the services of striker Clayton Donaldson, who becomes the Bantams’ seventh signing of the summer.

The 6ft 2ins frontman arrives on an initial one-year contract and brings a wealth of experience, having made over 400 EFL appearances representing the likes of Sheffield United, Birmingham City and Brentford.

Born and raised in Bradford, the Jamaican international began his youth career with City and is delighted to be returning to the Northern Commercials Stadium.

Former Bolton Wanderer Donaldson said: “I am absolutely delighted to be joining the club. I grew up in Bradford, as a City fan, so this move means an awful lot to me.

“I started my youth career here and coming back was always something I planned on.

“I spoke to Gary (Bowyer) and he ticked all the boxes, for me. He speaks and acts very passionately about the club and I cannot wait to start working with him.

“The passion of the supporters was a huge factor dragging me in.

“As a player you want to be representing a club with passionate supporters. I am looking forward to getting in front of them and doing them proud.

“It was disappointing - as a fan - to see City suffer relegation from League One last season.

"It is important to bounce straight back and I will be looking to hit the ground running."

Bowyer is delighted to have a target man on board and believes he will prove a valuable asset to his side next season.

The City boss added: “This is a fantastic signing for the club.

“Clayton is a Bradford lad and the move means a lot to him.

“I watched him several times last season, in the Championship. His work rate and attitude was first class.

“He brings a wealth of experience we can all learn from - with him playing over 600 career games.

“He will be a great role model in our dressing room - and out on the pitch."

Donaldson will officially become a Bradford City player on July 1 - when his contract with Bolton Wanderers expires. The agreement is subject to standard EFL and FA clearances.

 

Good stuff the squad coming together nicely

 

@Thelittlegerman
Have you just made that completely up. Its not been confirmed anywhere?

 

Good news, Clayton has always played well for opposing teams at Valley Parade.

yes he murdered us when he played for Crewe once

 

Where is this? Not showing up on my official club app.

 

Ta.

 

Interested do you laugh at us? We are massiuuuuuuf you know. I once drank in your pub that said no away fans over the door and survived after Petrescu scored a 89 minute equiliaser? What a team you had out that day including Rio.

 

Could be a bit of pre season excitement kicking in but I'm impressed with the way we've gone about things so far this pre season.

 

Definitely a good days work. Wright out and Donaldson in.
