Bradford City Captain Antoni Sarcevic Signs New One-Year Contract

Bradford City captain Antoni Sarcevic has committed his future to the club by signing a new one-year contract extension that will keep him at Valley Parade until the summer of 2028.

The midfielder’s previous agreement was due to expire next summer, but the new deal means Sarcevic will remain with the Bantams for at least two additional seasons.

Sarcevic joined Bradford City from Stockport County in 2024 and has quickly become an important figure within the squad. The 34-year-old has scored 18 goals in 73 appearances for the club, including the decisive goal that secured Bradford’s promotion from League Two in May 2025.

He was also appointed Bradford’s captain shortly before the start of the current campaign, further underlining his importance to the team.

Speaking about his new contract, Sarcevic expressed his delight at extending his stay. He said his two years at the club had been an “unbelievable” experience and that the team’s strong finish to last season, along with their positive start to the current campaign, had made him excited about what lies ahead.

Sarcevic’s Leadership Remains Important

The contract extension comes during an encouraging spell for Bradford City. The Bantams have won all three of their competitive matches this month, adding further momentum to their campaign.

Manager Graham Alexander has also highlighted just how valuable Sarcevic is to the squad, particularly because of his leadership and professionalism.

Alexander believes the experienced midfielder sets an example for his teammates every day and provides the kind of leadership the club needs.

The Bradford boss is therefore pleased that Sarcevic will remain part of the team for the next couple of seasons, giving the club an experienced presence both on and off the pitch.

With his new contract secured, Sarcevic can now focus on helping Bradford City build on their strong start and continue pushing for success. His experience, goals and leadership could prove important as the season develops.
