PHIL Parkinson has become reunited with former City loan pair Josh Cullen and Reece Burke at Bolton.

The former Bantams boss has brought the West Ham pair in on loan at the newly-promoted Championship club until January with a view to extending the deal in the new year.

Both centre half Burke and midfielder Cullen played under Parkinson at Valley Parade, with Cullen returning to play a full season under Stuart McCall after Parkinson left to take over at Wanderers.

Meanwhile, former City centre half Rory McArdle has been appointed skipper of his new club Scunthorpe.
