Andy Cook signs new three-year contract at Bradford City

Bradford City announced that last season's League Two Golden Boot winner Andy Cook has signed a new three-year contract with the club.

The 32-year-old striker was the City's top scorer this latter season, scoring 31 goals in all competitions and providing eight assists, and now has commited his future with the Bantams until the summer of 2026.

Initially joining on loan from Mansfield in January 2021, Cook has made 115 appearances for the club and scored a total of 51 goals. 

His impressive performance this season also earned him the distinction of being only the sixth player in the club's history to score 30 or more goals in a single season. 

Speaking to the club's media team, Cook said: “I am buzzing, over the moon to be here for another three years.

“I think everyone close to me knows this is where I want to be playing my football. I am delighted to have got it sorted as quickly as I have.

“I did have options elsewhere, but I wanted to stay here and help propel us to where we should be. I want to finish the business we started last season, and pick up where I left off on a personal note.

“The idea of playing in front of all these fans again was a big factor. The team togetherness and connection with them is something we all want to continue. They are so important, and hopefully we can give them something to shout about at the end of next season.

“When you look at the potential of the club, we know we can be in a higher division. Over the next few years, I want to be able to help us achieve that.”
