Bantams return for Jacobs
29 Jun 2007 - 10:22:03
Bradford City boss Stuart McCall has appointed long-serving former Bantams defender Wayne Jacobs as his number two.
City paid 'a five-figure sum' to land the 38-year-old, who was assistant-manager to Chris Wilder at Halifax Town.
It is the first time the club have paid a fee for an employee since they spent £100,000 to sign Dunfermline Athletic defender Andy Tod six years ago.
Jacobs made 303 appearances for the club during 11 years at Valley Parade.
Meanwhile, McCall has revealed he is close to unveiling his first signings since taking the helm at the beginning of the month.
"It can't come a second too soon," he admitted.
"It seems like every hour of the day I've had the phone stuck to my ear or I've been on the internet finding out about players."
