Bradford City have today confirmed the departure of manager Jim Jefferies after 14 months in charge.

Jeffries took over the Bantams following the sacking of Chris Hutching in the latter part of last season, but the former Hearts manager was unable to keep the Yorkshire side in the Premiership.

The club was under considerable financial constraint which meant Jeffries only had a small squad to work with. A run of poor results leaves Bradford in 16th place in division one.

Jefferies leaves just two days after assistant Billy Brown quit, claiming he 'was unable to settle in Yorkshire'.
