Bradford City can today confirm the appointment of Simon Grayson as the club's new manager.

Grayson has been our number one target to take over first-team affairs since the search began earlier this week.

He will meet the players tomorrow and will be in charge for the Bantams' trip to Charlton Athletic on Tuesday.

Grayson will be joined by Glynn Snodin as his assistant with all other existing current staff staying at the club.

Due to the timing of this appointment, there will be no press conference tomorrow so that the whole club can focus on our important game on Tuesday.

A date for an official press conference will be confirmed later in the week.

The club will make no further comment at this time.
