Lapslie 'loves' Bradford despite lack of minutes

Bradford City midfielder George Lapslie has said he will "follow the club for the rest of my life".

The 29-year-old has struggled for regular games and has made only 13 league starts since joining from Gillingham in January 2025.

Despite that, he says he has fallen for the Bantams.

"I've loved playing for Bradford. I couldn't speak highly enough of the club and everyone around it," he told BBC Radio Leeds.

"I wish I played more, of course I do, but there's still time, I've still got the rest of this season and next, so hopefully I'll really get in the team and rack up a lot of games.

"You can look at my time and I've been here nearly two years and I think I've only been unavailable for one game.

"I love this club and I'll follow it for the rest of my life."

Lapslie did not make a single league start between 23 August and 21 April last season and acknowledged it was a "difficult" spell.

He said he was told in January by then manager Graham Alexander that he would not get much playing time but had never wanted to leave.

Asked about his mindset during that period, he said: "I feel like I know who I am and I know the type of person I want to be.

"When I come in, if I am not playing I don't think 'I'll be moody', I know what's important to me and what I need to do to maintain the person I want to be.

"I try not to get too high or too low. Even if I was playing I think my mentality would be the same.

"I've got a young family and I constantly want to be a role model to them, that's at the forefront of my mind."
