Norwich City loanee Jonathan Tomkinson is hoping to secure a spot in Bradford’s starting lineup in the near future. The 21-year-old center back has been instrumental in Bradford’s recent victories over Liverpool’s Under-21s and Manchester City’s Under-21s in the EFL Trophy. Despite his contributions to the team’s success in the cup competition, Tomkinson is eager to earn a place in Graham Alexander’s league plans.
Although signed on a season-long loan with Bradford, Tomkinson has yet to make a League Two start for the club. However, he remains determined to prove himself and has been receptive to the coaching staff’s feedback and instructions about being more direct and aggressive on the field. Tomkinson has been focused on physically and mentally preparing himself for the challenge of breaking into the first team.
The defender has been part of the US youth international squad and contributed to Bradford’s opening goal against Liverpool’s Under-21s. Tomkinson is looking forward to the possibility of progressing further in the EFL Trophy and is eager to help the team win the competition. He emphasized the importance of taking each game as it comes and remaining consistent in their performance. Tomkinson also credited the team’s new formation and tactics for their recent victories, expressing his confidence in the tactics and the team’s ability to dominate games.
Tomkinson’s main priority is to secure a spot in Bradford’s league lineup, but his recent success in the EFL Trophy has provided him with the opportunity to showcase his abilities. He remains committed to improving and adapting to the team’s style of play, while also hoping for the chance to contribute to the team’s success in future games.
