Bradford have won the chase for Mansfield duo Michael and Rory Boulding.

The brothers, both versatile forwards, had been linked with League One side Cheltenham.

However, they have instead opted to join the Bantams on two-year deals and manager Stuart McCall is delighted with the double signing.

"Michael was our first choice as a striker because he offers something different to what we've already got," McCall told the club's official website.

"He's someone who can get in behind the defence with a bit of pace.

"I'm also pleased to have Rory on board. He's on exactly the same contract as Luke Medley was and will be there to push the main strikers."

Former Aston Villa player Michael is the older brother at 32 while 20-year-old Rory is regarded as a bright prospect for the future.
