Bradford City centre-back Matt Clarke is hoping to keep his place in an improving Bantams defence for the clash with his former club Darlington on Tuesday night.

Clarke has played his part in three straight clean sheets but, with the return of Graeme Lee from suspension, competition for places will increase.

"I'm just so glad I'm not the gaffer who has to pick the team, although it's a good problem to have," Clarke, who left the Quakers in 2006, told the Telegraph & Argus.

"My partnership with Zesh (Rehman) went very well against Wycombe. He's obviously played at a high level and he's quite vocal, which always helps.

"It's up to the gaffer what he does now but there are plenty of options."
