BRADFORD have announced Simon Grayson as their new manager.

The League One side controversially sacked the popular Stuart McCall last week following a run of six straight defeats.

Now they have turned to the 48-year-old former Leeds, Huddersfield, Preston and Sunderland man to help revive their faltering promotion hopes.

A statement from the Bantams revealed the news on Sunday lunchtime.

It read: "Bradford City can today confirm the appointment of Simon Grayson as the club's new manager.

"Grayson has been our number one target to take over first-team affairs since the search began earlier this week.

"He will meet the players tomorrow and will be in charge for the Bantams trip to Charlton Athletic on Tuesday.

"Grayson will be joined by Glynn Snodin as his assistant with all other existing current staff staying at the club.
