Despite promotion into League 1, City will also still enter the F.A Cup at the first round proper, with ties for that stage of the competition

Cobblers ready to move for Bradford City keeper Duke

6:30am Thursday 13th June 2013

By Simon Parker

Northampton continue to keep close tabs on Matt Duke as he mulls over his Valley Parade future.

Cobblers boss Aidy Boothroyd is a long-time admirer of the experienced goalkeeper, who had a nine-game loan spell with them in 2012 – and remains

ready to jump in if he decides not to stay with City.

Boothroyd said: "We're going to monitor the situation but if he did become available, he's certainly someone who I would be interested in

signing.

"I thought Dukey became a fans' favourite here very quickly and you can see why, because his performances for Bradford were phenomenal last

season.

"If he does become available, then there will certainly be a lot of interest from me and from us. We think he's a top keeper."

Duke, who turns 36 on Sunday, performed heroics in the Capital One Cup last season but then lost his place to Jon McLaughlin. He was on the bench

when City returned to Wembley to beat Northampton in the play-off final.

Duke, who has doubled up as City's goalkeeping coach, would face another fight for the jersey next season with McLaughlin already signed on. But

Boothroyd is in the market for a first-choice stopper to replace Wigan loanee Lee Nicholls.

Northampton would use Duke purely in a playing capacity. Former England international Tim Flowers is their full-time keeper coach.

Bradford City away to Huddersfield in Capital One Cup
http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/sportbcfc/10488674.Bradford_City_away_to_Huddersfield/

 City have drawn a West Yorkshire derby in the Capital One Cup.

Last season's losing finalists will kick off their campaign with a first-round trip to Huddersfield.

They visited the John Smith's Stadium at the same stage of the competition in 2008, when Stuart McCall's team were beaten 4-0.

But City won there on penalties in the JP Trophy under Phil Parkinson in 2011.
