Bradford sign Stockport defender Byrne

Neill Byrne scored one goal in 35 league appearances for Stockport

Bradford City have signed Stockport County defender Neill Byrne for an undisclosed fee on a two-year deal.

The 31-year-old made 22 appearances as the Hatters won the League Two title this season.

Byrne is the second Stockport player to join the Bantams this season after midfielder Antoni Sarcevic signed a two-year deal on Friday.

"The key is to maintain that momentum that Bradford ended the season with going into next season and just keep kicking on with good standards," he told the club website.

Bradford finished the season ninth in the League Two table.
