Bradford land Nottingham's Burke on loan

Bradford City have signed Oliver Burke on loan from Nottingham Forest.

The 17-year old winger has signed with the Bantams on an initial one-month deal which is expected to lift Phil Parkinson's side in terms of speed and width.

"I just felt we needed a bit more pace in the side, and Oliver will give us that," the manager of the League One side told the club's official website.

"He is young, but he's strong and can run with the ball.

"He is very highly fancied at Nottingham Forest and we are very much looking forward to working with him."

Burke came through the youth academy at Forest and made his senior debut in the Capital One Cup loss to Tottenham earlier in the season.
