Bobby Pointon Rejects Sensational £4 Million Offer — Commits Future to Bradford City!
In a remarkable show of loyalty that has sent shockwaves through League One, Bradford City forward Bobby Pointon has reportedly turned down a sensational £4 million transfer offer from a Championship club — choosing instead to remain at Valley Parade and continue his journey with the Bantams.
Pointon, 22, has firmly established himself as a fan favourite at Bradford City, admired for his relentless work rate, attacking threat, and visible passion for the badge. A product of the club’s youth system, he represents the identity many supporters want to see at the heart of the team — hungry, committed, and proud to wear claret and amber.
Sources close to the club suggest the £4 million bid — an extraordinary figure for a League one side — would have shattered Bradford City’s transfer record several times over. Yet despite the financial temptation, Pointon is said to have been unwavering in his decision.
“Bradford City is my home,” Pointon reportedly told club insiders.
“The fans believed in me, the club gave me my chance, and I want to be part of taking this team forward. Money isn’t everything.”
The proposed fee would have been almost unheard of at this level, underlining just how highly Pointon’s recent performances are rated beyond Valley Parade. His consistent contributions, versatility across the frontline, and growing maturity have attracted attention from higher-division scouts — but not enough to pull him away from the Bantams.
Bradford City’s manager praised the young forward’s commitment, calling it “a massive moment” for the club’s long-term ambitions.
“Bobby represents what Bradford City should be about,” the manager said.
“For a young player to turn down that kind of opportunity and stay committed to the project here speaks volumes about his character.”
Fans reacted with delight as news spread, flooding social media with messages such as “One of our own!”, “Future captain!”, and “You can’t buy loyalty.”
With Pointon staying put, Bradford City’s push for progress — and hopes of climbing back up the Football League — now carry added belief, driven by a player who has chosen commitment over cash.
