Bradford City boss Stuart McCall believes that veteran striker Peter Thorne will retire if he turns down the offer of a new contract from the Bantams.

The 35-year-old is weighing up his options while on holiday, having scored 32 goals in 75 appearances for the Bantams.

McCall told the Telegraph &Argus: "He may possibly get a package elsewhere that's better than what we can put to him, but I don't see him at many other clubs in our division.

"I could be wrong but I don't think Thorney would have that same desire if it meant him going out to play in front of only 3,000-4,000 every week.

"Listening to him, I know how much it has meant to perform with our fans behind him.

"He's a genuine lad who's enjoyed his football with us and the buzz that the crowds give him."
