00:00Bradford City have announced the signing of Curtis Tilt following the expiration of his contract at Salford City.

00:07Tilt joins Max Power as two of the new additions to the Bantams squad this summer so far,

00:13as Graeme Alexander is preparing his squad for life in League One,

00:18where Bradford will be looking to compete and not just survive from relegation,

00:22but push themselves up in the League One table.

00:25I guess it's just now a case of counting down the days to play in front of the fans here in the right colours this time.

00:28Yeah, it's definitely, first of all, it's just counting down the days to get pre-season out of the way.

00:35And then as soon as the fixtures come out, you can start looking at who we're playing

00:39and then hopefully the first home game will be so much special.

00:43You know, it's been a bit of a whirlwind 24 hours, but again, as football, things tend to move quickly at times

00:49and I think all parties were really happy with how everything panned out

00:54and I'm delighted to get it done so early in the summer, say after the season.

01:00And like I said, I'm already really excited to get back in.

01:04I'm sure the lads who've just been promoted are enjoying the break,

01:07but I'm already excited to get in and get going.

01:10And Leeds United head coach Daniel Farker has spoken on some of his credentials

01:15as the man in charge of the Whites following what has been a record-breaking season at Elland Road

01:21where the Whites achieved 100 points and won the championship

01:25and won promotion back to the Premier League.

01:28There are always games when you think, OK, we could have won a few more games.

01:35We spoke about, yeah, we could have scored a few more goals.

01:38So normally with all our chances, we should be already there with 100 goals

01:42and also can't really remember many games we won lucky a point,

01:47but we lost sometimes really unlucky also a few more points.

01:51It could be easily already there with more than 100 points.

01:55There's always something you can improve and can do better.

01:59In terms of extending your goal tally or your point tally,

02:03but overall you have to say, yeah, we've already made sure that we played the best season

02:08in terms of points in the history of this club.

02:10And I think we all should be pretty, pretty proud of what we have achieved.
