    are delighted to announce the signing of left-back Liam Ridehalgh, on a two-year deal.

    The experienced defender arrives at the Utilita Energy Stadium after eight seasons at Tranmere Rovers, where he enjoyed two promotion campaigns.

    Halifax-born Ridehalgh graduated from the Huddersfield Town academy in 2010 - having joined the club in 2003.

    He has also served loan spells at Rotherham United, Swindon Town and Chesterfield.

    Ridehalgh said: “I am really glad to have got the deal done. I cannot wait to get going and am really looking forward to the season ahead.

    “Bradford City is a massive football club. I am local to the area and know exactly what both the supporters and manager require.

    “I played against a Derek Adams team in the play-offs last season. His sides are hard working and strong mentally, so I know what is expected.

    “We are in League Two at the moment, but I know our aim is to go further than this division.

    “It is clearly an ambitious football club. The new manager has come in and has past experience of getting promoted from this league. There are a few players in the camp who have been there and done it as well.

    “I think this is a Championship club, so hopefully this year we can be right up there in the league.”

    Bantams boss Derek Adams said: “We are delighted to be welcoming Liam on board as our fifth new recruit of the summer.

    “When I first arrived at the club, he was one of the very first names on our list, so to have got the deal completed ahead of pre-season is hugely encouraging.

    “He is a well-cultured player with plenty of quality and experience at left-back, having played close to 400 games in his career.

    “Liam is from around the area and lives locally, so is well aware of what this football club means and what is required to represent it.

    “We welcome him to Bradford City, and are looking forward to seeing him in action when we begin pre-season training next week.”

    Used to watch quite a bit of National League football on BT and Tranmere featured quite a lot when they were down there and Ridehalgh always impressed. I actually thought he was older than 30.

    Must be joint best kept secret this Summer, feels like the majority of our signings have been leaked weeks early.

    Described by a Tranmere fan as not exciting but defensively sound. That is likely to be the reason DA wanted him.

    For balance


    indeed Kev is telling the truth, this is a travesty and should never have been allowed to happen. What has the owners been doing for the last four weeks, they should've been doing everything to get the likes of Monthe and Rides to stay on. That said, he has been a great player for us, a true legend, and with more than 400 appearances I believe he will be in our top 10 performance makers of all time

    Good signing. An upgrade on Wood, in my opinion.

    Never rated wood really. Didn’t get the hype.

    This looks a solid signing and Adams seems clear our defence wasn’t good enough before. Particularly at full back.

    I don’t give a F whether he’s not exiting, sexy, glamorous, whatever.

    We want a sound defender … end of.

    What is it with the club buying players who have really hard to pronounce surnames?

    Hopefully he’s better at stopping crosses than the full backs we’ve had the last few years, that’ll do me.
