New signing Omar Daley is relishing the high level of expectation generated by his arrival at City.

Fans are predicting big things from the jet-paced Jamaican midfielder in the wake of Jermaine Johnson's success.

And Daley, who trained with his new team for the first time today, is determined to live up to the hype.

He said: "It's always good to be under pressure. I think you will get more out of me like that.

"It's nice that Jermaine has come here and done well. We are similar players and I also want to improve my skills and move Bradford forward.

"The gaffer has said that all the Jamaicans he has brought over have done well. I aim to keep my head and do my best.

"I'm much more comfortable with playing in England this time around. I'm really up for it."

The 25-year-old Jamaican international, who had previous spells at Reading and Preston, comes with a reputation for lightning speed, an accurate cross and a powerful shot with either foot.

Daley said: "I normally like to play on the right side, going down the flank and coming inside to shoot with my left. And I've got speed - I just need to know when to use it.

"But I've been playing all over midfield as well as right back for Jamaica. I'm a good all-rounder. The gaffer can put me wherever he wants and I'll do the job."

Daley, who has joined on an 18-month deal, hopes to be involved against Yeovil on Saturday and will spend the week pressing his claims to make a home start.

He said: "It's a good incentive but we'll see how the week goes. I have to impress the gaffer in training - no talking, just training.

"The more games you play, the better you are. I just need to get my fitness level up, go on a good run in the team and see what happens from there.

"The coaching staff is very good here and it's up to me now to do my best and make things work."
