Striker closes in on Bantams return

The 36-year-old, leading goalscorer at Valley Parade last season, has made only five appearances this time around due to injury.The former Norwich forward's latest calf problem has kept him sidelined since early October, but he is hoping to return to contention before the end of January.Meanwhile, the Bantams' bid to draft in a seasoned goalkeeper on loan has been hit by the weather.Jon McLaughlin made only his second first-team appearance following Simon Eastwood's recent return to Huddersfield in last weekend's home draw with Cheltenham.City manager Stuart McCall said: "You can't do anything in this weather and you can't judge a keeper on a couple of gym sessions. We're trying to bring someone in and have spoken to several clubs. I'm still waiting on a couple of things."
