Brad Jones signs for Bradford City

Bradford City have announced the signing of former Liverpool goalkeeper Brad Jones on a one-year deal.

Jones departed Anfield when his contract expired earlier this season after making 27 competitive appearances in a five-year spell at the club.

The Australian was also rumoured to be a target for Charlton Athletic, but Phil Parkinson's side have won the battle to secure his services.

After spending most of his time with Liverpool as a backup, Jones was briefly drafted into the lineup ahead of Simon Mignolet last season before an injury allowed the Belgian to take his spot back.

Bradford host Gillingham on Tuesday night.
