Former Nottingham Forest striker seals shock return to English football

Former Nottingham Forest striker Matt Derbyshire has joined League Two side Bradford City on an 18-month contract.

The 36-year-old spent three seasons at the City Ground between 2011 and 2014, but struggled to fulfil his potential. Derbyshire had recently joined the Indian Super League side NorthEast United, but after just eight appearances he has returned to England.

He has been reunited with manager Mark Hughes, whom he spent four seasons with at Blackburn Rovers between 2004 and 2008. Having signed with Bradford until the summer of 2024, he said: "It feels great to be here. It has actually been a long time coming because we thought it would initially happen in the summer, but I am here now and looking forward to getting started.
