Bradford have signed former Aston Villa midfielder Lee Hendrie on a short-term contract. Hendrie is hoping to prolong his career in the Football League at Valley Parade after being released by Derby in the summer. The 33-year-old, who won one full England cap under Glenn Hoddle, is teaming back up with Bantams manager Peter Taylor, who was his coach during his days with England Under-21s. Hendrie, who made over 300 first-team appearances for Villa after making his debut against QPR in 1995, joined Sheffield United on a free transfer in July 2007 following two separate loan spells at Stoke. He has also had loan spells at Leicester, Blackpool and Brighton
