CITY’S return to competitive reserve action will begin with a home game against Burton.

RIASA, the American programme run by former Bantams winger Mark Ellis, will oversee the running of the side and their better players will have the chance to mix with City’s younger pros and apprentices.

Home matches will be shared between the training ground at Apperley Bridge and Valley Parade, with at least three taking place at the main stadium.

City’s home fixtures in the Final Third Development League will be played on Tuesdays at 2pm.
