Team News: Bradford City loan Middlesbrough's Connor Ripley

Middlesbrough goalkeeper Connor Ripley has joined Bradford City on loan until the end of August.

The 20-year-old was registered just in time to take part in this afternoon's League Two opener at Bristol City.

However, he has had to settle for a place on the bench, as Jon McLaughlin starts between the sticks for the Bantams.

Ripley, who has made three first-team appearances for Boro, was part of the England squad that competed in the Under-20 World Cup earlier this summer.

Bradford City: McLaughlin, Darby, Davies, McArdle, Meredith, Thompson, Jones, Doyle, Yeates, Hanson, Wells Subs: Ripley, Reid, Kennedy, Taylor, McHugh, De Vita, Connell
