Colbeck would like to return to Bradford

Hereford United's Joe Colbeck has said that he would like to play for Bradford at some stage in the future.

Colbeck was Bradford's player of the Year in 2008.

"I would love to come back and play there again one day," he told the Telegraph and Argus. "I loved my time with Bradford.

"I still look out for their score. As soon as I’ve finished our game, I’m trying to find out how they’ve got on."

Colbeck left Bradford after discussions over a new deal stalled.

"They offered me a long-term deal but I didn’t think it was fair compared to what other people in the team were on.

"It wasn’t as though I was asking for thousands of pounds a week. We were scrapping over silly amounts.

"I told Stuart McCall (then Bradford manager) I was happy to stay on a week-to-week (contract) But Oldham came in and wanted to give me what I wanted. It was deadline day and I had to make a big decision in a short space of time.

"Coming to Hereford is something new for me. I’ve moved away from Bradford and settled down really well.

"But I get back up whenever I get the chance and my phone hasn’t stopped ringing all week. I’ve been asking for 30-40 tickets for this game but could probably fill the bottom of the Kop."
