Steve Claridge would love to stretch his City adventure beyond the end of this season.
The evergreen frontman admits he is having a ball at Valley Parade.
Claridge turns 40 in April but his appetite for the game remains undiminished.
So much so, he hopes to steer the Bantams to promotion - and then play on in the Championship.
He said: "Things can change very quickly but I would love to stay as long as they will have me.
"I played in the Championship last year and there is absolutely no reason why I can't do it next season if we went up.
"I don't earn a lot of money. It's a decent wage packet but it's a fraction of what I've been used to earning. But that isn't what it's about.
"I'm just really enjoying my football with Bradford and that is all I've wanted to do.
"All right, it's not the best sat on the motorway for three hours every week but I've just had a really good feeling about the whole club."
Claridge is the fourth oldest outfield player still performing. Andy Hessenthaler, who is 16 months older, will line up against him for Gillingham on Saturday.
The City striker, who made his debut for Bournemouth in 1984, has learned to live with the jibes.
"If I have a bad game then people always blame my age. But I had plenty of bad games when I was 21.
"All I ask for is to be judged on a level playing field. If I have 20 bad games then I will know it's time to pack in football and I won't need telling.
"At Brentford, the manager made up his mind about me after only the second game. Sometimes it does backfire on you.
"I could have easily spat the dummy out here when it took five or six games to get a chance. When I was warming up at Swindon, the fans were chanting Andy Cooke's name.
"But everyone at the club have been so fair with me and all I wanted to do was give them something back. I'd like to think this is pay-back time.
"When Bradford signed me there was a lot of scepticism. People would have looked at it and thought it was a desperation move. Maybe now I've turned the corner and they are thinking it was a pretty astute one.
"I would like to get ten to 15 goals and if Deano (Dean Windass) weighs in with 20 to 25 then that should get us somewhere near the top. I've scored one in three for nearly 1,000 games in my career so hopefully that won't change now."
