Bradford City 4-1 Newport County: Bantams miss out on play-offs despite comfortable win

Bradford City won 19 of their League Two matches during the 2023-24 season

Bradford City missed out on the League Two play-offs despite signing off their season with a convincing win over Newport County.

Calum Kavanagh and Andy Cook both headed beyond Nick Townsend shortly before half time to put Graham Alexander's men in control.

Bobby Pointon and Jamie Walker netted either side of a Harry Charlsey effort to seal an emphatic win.

Bradford end the season in ninth, one point off the top seven.

Newport finish 18th after losing their final eight matches.

Newport County boss Graham Coughlan:

"It's probably been 10 games too many for us, it's probably a little bit of relief that the season is over.

"I probably started planning (for next season) when our play-off hopes ended. We've got a lot of work ahead of us, we can't accept what we've had as a football club over the last eight games.

"The injury windows have really hurt us so we've got to learn from that and we've got to put together a bigger, better and stronger squad for next season because there's no point in us doing this job if our ambition next season is not play-offs or promotion."
