DION Pereira is back at Valley Parade!

The Luton winger has returned for his second stint at the club on a season-long loan.

Mark Hughes has finally got his man after pursuing Pereira throughout the summer window.

Pereira, who played 10 games under him with City previously, has featured for the Hatters in pre-season as well as the first round of the Carabao Cup.

But he remains on the fringes at the Championship side, who have now agreed to let him come back to the Bantams.

A delighted Pereira said: “Everyone made me feel right at home last season and I did not have to think twice about coming back.

“The experiences I had last season with the supporters, the team and Mark Hughes are ones that you cannot forget.

“Finishing off with three wins at the end of last season, the gaffer said that he wanted to aim for success before I even went back to Luton and seeing games so far - including the win against Sheffield Wednesday - it is clear what we want to do.

“I cannot wait to see all the boys again at training and get back out at Valley Parade on Saturday. I have missed all the fans, and just want to give everything back to them on the pitch.”

Hughes has spent months lobbying Luton to get Pereira for a second spell on loan.

The City boss said: “As every Bradford City supporter knows, Dion is an exciting, entertaining player who we have kept an eye on from the minute he returned to Luton following the conclusion of last season.

“He has that ability to unlock doors and turn games in the wink of an eye and is a popular face among those who he shared the pitch with here last term.

“I am sure you will join me in wishing him a warm welcome and, like myself, are looking forward to seeing him in action this weekend.”
