Bradford City manager Paul Jewell has moved swiftly to bolster his defence.

Former City favourite Lee Sinnott is returning to Valley Parade for his third spell while pacy right back Steve McAnespie has also moved from Fulham.

Sinnott moved to Oldham Athletic in a £50,000 deal last summer from Huddersfield Town only for his season to be disrupted by a calf muscle injury.

The 32-year-old was a member of the Bantams side between 1987 and 1991 before moving to Crystal Palace.

After three years in London, he returned to Valley Parade before joining Huddersfield under Neil Warnock.

McAnespie, 26, was a £900,000 signing by Bolton from Raith in the 1995-96 season. He was sold to Fulham for around £100,000 last autumn.
