CHRIS Taylor's move to City has not gone through.

The midfielder agreed terms to join the Bantams last week as a free agent - but the deal cannot be finalised because of a registration issue.

There is uncertainty surrounding a Lancashire Cup tie in which Taylor featured for Barrow after the transfer window had closed.

The 32-year-old had not agreed terms with the non-league club or signed any form of contract.

But talks with the FA and EFL could not confirm Taylor's eligibility to play for City - and whether points would be deducted if he did.

City director of communications Ryan Sparks said: "Chris was unaware that his appearance for Barrow could have any effect on him becoming a Bradford City player.

"He was of the impression he was playing as a trialist."

Fans were surprised not to see Taylor in the squad against Port Vale last night.
