The Eagles will host the League One club in a pre-season friendly.

The club is proud to announce that it will host Bradford City in a Pre-Season friendly at the Mitton Group Stadium in what is set to be a fantastic encounter.

The League Once club will bring a Select XI to face the Eagles in what will be a highly competitive game as both sides look to prepare for the new season.

This announcement is the latest in Eccleshill's busy summer plans which already features home games against Curzon Ashton, Brighouse Town, Shaw Lane and Farsley Celtic.

Sean Regan has arranged a set of tough fixtures that are sure to test his squad and prepare them perfectly for the new NCEL campaign both tactically as well as in terms of fitness.

The fixture which will take place on Tuesday 18th July, with a 7.30 pm kick-off is sure to bring in a big crowd to the Mitton Group Stadium which will provide an excellent atmosphere for the game.

Eccleshill faced a Select XI from Bradford City last Pre-Season and came out 3-1 winners, a result that they will be looking to replicate this time around.

After narrowly missing out on promotion to the Sky Bet Championship at Wembley, Bradford themselves will be hoping for another incredibly positive season, and much like the Eagles will have promotion in mind; making this an important friendly for both teams.
