New City hitman Luke Cornwall, pictured, cannot "weight" to get started.

The 22-year-old from Fulham met his team-mates for the first time yesterday as pre-season kicked off.

Cornwall said: "A change in my life will benefit me. Hopefully I can have a good pre-season and see if I can get in the team.

"At Fulham there was a 40-man squad so it was really hard to get anywhere near. I've obviously got more of a chance with Bradford.

"It's a bit of change being a London lad but change is good sometimes. The club have got in a few new players so I won't be the only one - and I'm a genuinely nice guy so I'll fit in!"

City No 2 Chris Dowhan said: "We're starting under much better circumstances than last year and hopefully the players will gel from day one."
