Bradford City have signed goalkeeper Ben Williams and forward Mo Shariff on non-contract terms.

Williams, 31, left Hibernian at the end of last season after the Easter Road side were relegated from the Scottish Premiership.

Burundi-born Shariff, 21, was released by Queens Park Rangers in the summer after featuring once in three seasons.

Both players could feature in Bradford's League One opener against Coventry City on Saturday.

Frantic Friday
 FILIPE Morais today gave Bradford City a much-needed boost by joining them on a short-term contract.

The 28-year-old Portuguese winger, who started his career at Chelsea, was a free agent after being released by Stevenage at the end of last season.

The much-travelled wideman will give Bantams boss Phil Parkinson another option ahead of tomorrow's Sky Bet League One opener at home to Coventry City.

Morais has been training with Phil Parkinson's squad for the past couple of weeks ahead of his move to the Bantams.

 With fellow new signings Ben Williams, Mo Shariff and Matt Urwin taking squad numbers 12, 16 and 22 respectively, Morais has elected for number 20 for this season.

Having spent the past two seasons with Stevenage, Morais previously played for Oldham Athletic after spellsnorth of the border with Hibernian, Inverness Caledonian Thistle and St Johnstone.

 Having moved to London from Portugal with his family when he was a child, Morais began his professional career with Chelsea back in 2005.

He also spent a season with Millwall in 2006 before beginning his spell three-year period in Scotland.

 PHIL Parkinson received a major boost today after defender Christopher Routis became Bradford City's fifth new signing of the week by putting pen to paper on a one-year deal.

 The French/Swiss defender signed his contract with the club at Valley Parade this Friday afternoon. The deal also includes a further one-year option in the favour of the club.

 His arrival comes after the signings of Ben Williams, Mo Shariff, Matt Urwin and Filipe Morais earlier this week.

 The 24 year-old has been on trial with the club for the last three weeks, featuring in the friendlies against Ossett Town, Blackburn Rovers, Bradford Park Avenue and Hartlepool United before agreeing his City contract.

The defender will need to receive international clearance before he can feature for Phil Parkinson's side.

 He will wear shirt number 18 for the 2014/2015 campaign.

 Born in Geneva Switzerland, Routis joins City on a free transfer after leaving Swiss Super League club Servette earlier this summer.

 Routis spent three years as a professional with Servette.
