Bradford City sign Oliver, Threlfall and Saxton

Bradford City manager Peter Taylor has made a trio of new signings, with the free transfer captures of Luke Oliver,

Robbie Threlfall and Lloyd Saxton.

Central defender Oliver, 28, had a month on loan at Valley Parade from Wycombe last season, and has agreed a

permanent two-year contract.

Left-back Threlfall, 21, spent time on loan from Liverpool and has also signed a two-year deal.

Goalkeeper Saxton, 20, joins from Plymouth on a one-year contract.

Taylor is also hopeful that several of his out of contract players will accept the new deals being offered to them.

Lee Bullock and Simon Ramsden have already indicated that they will stay at Valley Parade, with Taylor just waiting

on a decision from Michael Flynn.

"I honestly haven't heard anything negative so I'm very hopeful that they'll be signing and staying - I'm very

confident of that," he said.

Leon Osborne has become the second City youngster in a day to secure his future at the club.

Following the three-year deal signed by Jon McLaughlin this morning, Osborne has agreed a new two-year contract.

Like McLaughlin, the 20-year-old winger impressed when he was given an extended run in the first-team at the tail

end of last season.

Osborne made a total of 13 appearances in what proved to be a breakthrough campaign at Valley Parade.

McLaughlin commits to City

By Connor Murphy

Jon McLaughlin has committed his long-term future to City after signing a new three-year deal.

The 22-year-old has emerged as first-choice keeper following a string of impressive performances to end last

season.

Given his chance by boss Peter Taylor in the final month of the campaign, McLaughlin conceded just three goals in a

six-match unbeaten run.

McLaughlin kept clean sheets against Northampton and Crewe and also saved a penalty in a man-of-the-match display

at Burton.
