David Hopkin has resigned as Bradford manager after six months at the Northern Commercials Stadium.

David Hokpin has spoken to the Bradford website about his decision to resign as manager, with the Bantams second bottom in League One and on a run of one win in their last eight games.

He said: “I am disappointed but feel the time is right for me to step aside and allow someone to come in and attempt to keep the club in League One.

“I have given my all over the past six months. I took on a tough job and have left no stone unturned in my efforts to help us climb the table. The club means a great deal to me, as a former player, and that is why I have made this decision - with a quarter of the season remaining.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank the incredible Bradford City fans. This has been a hugely difficult season for everyone involved and they have shown me a great deal of support. I wish the club the very best for the future.”

First team coach Martin Drury will take charge of Saturday's league game with Portsmouth.
