Good luck to him. Hope he gets plenty of game time.
Re: ARTICLE: Mellon in down move to Bradford City
Was concerned this would be a bad move with him having to compete with Cook. Cook's injury means he should get plenty of opportunities, hope he can stay injury free and if he does he should score plenty of goals at a level he's already shown he's more than capable at.

That’s why they’ve come in for him because of Cook’s injury.Mattster wrote: ↑Wed Jan 08, 2025 11:02 amWas concerned this would be a bad move with him having to compete with Cook.

I am sure MDwat and DCwat will be delighted at this news. One of their own going to play for their beloved local team. He's closer to JDRobbo as well, what with him being in Bradford.
A good day all round for our Yorkie glory hunters.

I believe jdrobbo is back in his role as Yorkshire Tourist Board Marketing Manager Dan, so he'll pick this up later when he's back from his beloved Yorkshire Dales.
As you say as a proud Bradfordian he will be delighted with this news.

Re: ARTICLE: Mellon in down move to Bradford City
He’s 21 now and I can’t see him ever making our first team. Good luck to him with a career at lower levels.
Re: ARTICLE: Mellon in down move to Bradford City
It’s a big ask replacing Cook, completely different style of forward but if he can bag a few it puts him in the shop window. Good luck to the lad.

No idea if he'll make it, it is indeed a huge step up. But Jamie Vardy was playing for Stocksbridge Park Steels at 21. Charlie Austin had just moved from Poole Town to Swindon.Tricky Trevor wrote: ↑Wed Jan 08, 2025 12:08 pmHe’s 21 now and I can’t see him ever making our first team.

Wayne Rooney distorted what everyone thinks a young player should be capable of in senior football.

So why the bloody hell has he chosen that oneClaretTony wrote: ↑Wed Jan 08, 2025 1:00 pmHe was but they moved with the Cook injury. There were other options.

In all seriousness, of course I hope he does well, just missing out on promotion would be perfect.
