Bradford capture keeper Eastwood

Bradford City have signed Huddersfield Town goalkeeper Simon Eastwood on loan until 31 December.

The 20-year old is a product of Town's academy set-up and is an England Under-19 international.

Eastwood played 12 games on loan at Blue Square Premier Woking last season, before being recalled and making his League One debut away at Leyton Orient.

He featured as a half-time substitute in Bradford's 2-0 pre-season defeat at home to Barnsley on Saturday.

The move brings to end a lengthy search for a goalkeeper by City boss Stuart McCall, who was originally knocked back by Town for Eastwood's services.

"Huddersfield weren't originally willing to let him out," McCall told BBC Radio Leeds.

"And the other keepers that we looked at from the Premiership and Championship were financially too expensive."

Eastwood will now fight for a starting berth with Jon McLaughlan, who spent the first two weeks of pre-season representing Great Britain at the World Student Games.

"I've got two good young keepers here," added McCall.

"Hopefully Simon will fit the bill and he and Jonny (McLaughlan) will have a fight for the number one shirt."
