Gladiators add Bradford City's Goldthorp on loan

Matlock Town will add 18 years old midfielder Eliot Goldthorp to their squad for tonight’s BetVictor NPL Premier Division game against Radcliffe at the Proctor Cars Stadium.

Goldthorp has come to Matlock from Bradford City on work experience having made four League One appearances for the Bantams in 2018/19.

His debut for City was in an EFL Trophy tie against Everton Under 21’s which ended 1-1 but Goldthorp scored the deciding spot kick in a penalty shoot out.

Earlier this season he had a loan spell at Mossley scoring a hat-trick in an FA Trophy tie against Cleethorpes Town.

Goldthorpe later had a spell on loan at Radcliffe.
