Bradford (Park Avenue) tie down experienced defender to new deal

Experienced Bradford (Park Avenue) defender Mark Beevers has signed a new deal which will keep him at the club until the end of the 2025/26 season.
Since joining the club in September 2024, Beevers has been a vital presence at the heart of their defence, making 23 appearances and recording seven clean sheets.
Before arriving at Avenue, Beevers was plying his trade in Australia with A-League side Perth Glory.
Prior to his move abroad, the towering centre-back amassed over 500 appearances across the Football League, representing the likes of Sheffield Wednesday, MK Dons, Millwall, Bolton Wanderers and Peterborough United.
On his new deal, Beevers said: “I’ve really enjoyed my time at Bradford (Park Avenue) so far.
"Coming out of full-time football into a part-time setup has given me the chance to explore new opportunities off the pitch while still competing at a good level.
"Football-wise, we’ve had more good moments than bad, and despite a tough spell, we’re showing signs of improvement every week.
"We’re still pushing to finish this season strong, and looking ahead, I truly believe the club is moving in the right direction.
"The aim is promotion, and I’m excited to be a part of that journey.”
Manager Craig Elliott said: “I’m delighted to sign Mark Beevers for next season.
"He has been superb on and off the pitch since signing. This is the start of us planning for next season, and I have no doubt he will play a big part in what we want to achieve.”
