Peter Taylor has moved to bolster City’s strikeforce by signing Stoke City youngster Louis Moult on loan until the start of January.

The Bantams boss has also rewarded Lewis Hunt with an initial one-year contract after being impressed with the defender during his pre-season trial spell.

Moult, 18, is rated highly by Stoke, where he finished last season as top scorer for their reserves.

He was handed his first-team debut in the Carling Cup tie against Leyton Orient last August and made his Premier League bow for the Potters as a substitute against Burnley at Turf Moor.

He is set to feature in tomorrow’s friendly at Rochdale.

Hunt is to wear the number 15 shirt and will be competing with Simon Ramsden for the right-back berth, although the 27-year-old can also play in the centre of defence.
