David Hopkin resigns from Bradford City

    David Hopkin has resigned from his role as manager at Bradford City after less than six months in charge at the League One club.

    The 48-year-old Scot replaced Michael Collins in September, but only won seven of his 35 matches.

    Hopkin's final game saw the Bantams lose 3-2 at 10-man Walsall on Saturday to leave them 23rd in the table.

    Hopkin said: "I have given my all over the past six months. I took on a tough job and have left no stone unturned in my efforts to help us climb the table.

    "The club means a great deal to me as a former player and that is why I have made this decision - with a quarter of the season remaining."
