With a name like Haworth, City’s “other” on-loan winger should fit in fine in West Yorkshire.

Andy Haworth would certainly love to hit the ‘Wuthering Heights’ as he looks to put a frustrating time at Bury behind him.

Haworth, like many in the Valley Parade dressing room including latest signing Will Atkinson, is out of contract in the summer.

So he is desperate to put a marker down for the future. For the 23-year-old, every second on the pitch counts.

Tomorrow’s trip to Bristol Rovers represents a third chance to show Phil Parkinson that he is worth keeping.

Haworth’s loan may only be for a month initially but he has got his sights on extending the stay.

He said: “Hopefully I’ll be here for longer. I need to get the games first and prove to the manager what I can do through my performances.

“Obviously it’s down to Bradford if they want to keep me to the end of the season but hopefully that will happen.

“It’s an important time for me now. I’m out of contract in the summer and become a free agent then.

“That’s always in the back of your mind but you’ve just got to get your head down and try to play well to earn a new deal.”

Atkinson’s arrival yesterday seemed to throw a question mark over Haworth’s prospects. But assistant boss Steve Parkin says the ball remains in his court.

He said: “Andy has just got to carry on working. He’s had a long period when he hasn’t played but he’s had a couple of games for us in a short space of time and it’s about him impressing on us that he can do a job from now until the end of the season.”

The writing certainly looks to be on the wall for Haworth at Gigg Lane. Having played 40 games in last season’s rise from League Two, he no longer seems part of Richie Barker’s plans.

Haworth feels he has not been given a fair crack of the whip and said: “It’s been a complicated situation since last season. I felt I’ve not really had a look-in there.

“I played quite a lot last year and thought it went well, especially as we got promotion.

“But this season has been really frustrating for me personally and I had to get out to get some games.

“I’m sure I could play in that league but it’s the manager’s decision.

“He must have felt I wasn’t the right player for him.”

When Parkinson came calling, Haworth’s decision was easy. After a brief loan spell at Oxford earlier in the season, he did not hesitate to pack his bags again.

He added: “It’s nice to know when a manager rates you highly and wants you. It gives you more confidence and positivity.

“It’s always pretty nerve-racking going to a new club and getting used to the different surroundings but I think I’ve settled in well.

“This is a massive club and the stadium is great to play in. It doesn’t feel like I’ve dropped down a division because of the size of the crowd and the ground.

“I just want to do my best for the team and put in some good performances on a personal note. Then hopefully that will persuade the manager to keep me here.

“I’m still finding a bit of fitness at the minute and I feel a bit heavy-legged because I’ve not played for a long while. But I’ll keep putting in the work in training and in games.”
