Bradford City have signed Middlesbrough midfielder Matthew Dolan on loan until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old spent the first half of the season on loan at Hartlepool United, where he made 25 appearances.

Bradford manager Phil Parkinson told the club's official website: "We've been making changes to the squad recently and Matty Dolan will be another one of those when he comes in.

"Matty will add some quality into the midfield area. He has a good mentality as well. He is eager to learn and eager do really well here at Bradford City. He has real desire to his game. He also has a terrific left foot and the ability to pick out a killer pass.

"I felt we needed fresh legs in central midfield and Matty should give us that."

Dolan could make his Bantams debut against Crewe Alexandra on Saturday.
