Ricky Ravenhill has joined League Two outfit Northampton Town on a one-month loan deal.

The City midfielder, who was recently made available to other clubs along with Alan Connell and Andy Gray, arrived at Sixfields to complete the switch.

Bantams boss Phil Parkinson has also given Northampton permission to play Ravenhill in the FA Cup, meaning the midfielder could make his debut for the Cobblers in their first-round tie at Bishop's Stortford this Sunday.

The former Doncaster Rovers, Darlington and Notts County campaigner has only started two games for City this season - the Capital One Cup tie at Huddersfield in August and the Johnstone's Paint Trophy match against Hartlepool in September.

The move to the Sixfields Stadium will see Ravenhill reunited with former City team-mate Matt Duke, who joined Northampton from the Bantams this summer.
