The Big Signings
Michael Stone had been working behind the scenes, navigating complex negotiations, scouting reports, and transfer fees. And now, after weeks of persistence, the deals were finally done.
Three players. Three key additions.
Roney Bardghji (FC Copenhagen) – The Swedish wonderkid was officially a Bradford player.
Matthew Cox (Manchester United Academy) – A young goalkeeper to push Okafor.
Reece Holloway (Arsenal Academy) – A promising right-back with a high ceiling.
Each signing required delicate negotiations, flights across Europe, and convincing both players and agents that Bradford was the right destination.
And for Bardghji, it took more than just money—it took a vision.

Michael Stone stepped out of the taxi, adjusting his coat as the brisk Copenhagen air bit at his face. This wasn't just another routine meeting—this was the most ambitious signing in Bradford's history.
£30 million.
