CITY fans could be forgiven for thinking Callum Cooke has not quite hit the heights he did in the second half of last season.

But one eye-opening statistic proves he is still a vital figure in the Bantams' midfield.

In the top four tiers of English football, Cooke has made more key passes than anyone so far this season, with 59.

That puts him two ahead of Reading's John Swift, and four in front of Accrington's Sean McConville.

Jed Wallace (Millwall) and Sorba Thomas (Huddersfield) are the only other two players to have hit the 50 key passes mark.
