This year we are continuing our partnership with Bradford City by sponsoring a 20-year-old player named Bobby Pointon (No 23).

Bradford City Association Football Club,  also known informally as Bradford City were founded in 1903 to introduce the sport to the West Riding of Yorkshire, which until then had been almost entirely inclined towards rugby league. Before they had even played their first game, City were elected to the Football League to replace Doncaster Rovers in Division Two, and took over the Valley Parade stadium, which has been their permanent home ground ever since. The club won the Division Two title in 1908 and the FA Cup in 1911.

In July 2022, Bradford born, Bobby turned professional, beginning his career with Bradford City. He made his full debut for the club on 9th September 2023, scoring his first goal in a 1–0 win at home against Swindon Town, on 7th October 2023.

We are delighted to have this opportunity to be part of a promising young player’s career.

City Fans”, Bobby will be visiting the office in the near future, please let us know if you or any of the people you support would like to meet him.
