BBC Radio Leeds are set to continue as the official broadcast partner of Bradford City.

BBC Radio Leeds Sports Editor Jonny Buchan said: "After last season's heroics we are delighted to be following the Bantams journey in League One.

"The partnership with the club is something we value greatly and we look forward to continuing the relationship as City climb up the Football League."

Match commentary, which can also be heard on BantamsTV, will be provided by BBC Radio Leeds and is available via FM and DAB platforms.

"Bradford City AFC is delighted to announce an extension to our deal with BBC Radio Leeds, seeing the local station continue as our official broadcast partner," the League One club said on its website.

"Commentator Jamie Raynor will be joined by a cast of former City stars to bring you live commentary of every single home and away game throughout the season."
