Bradford teenager Oliver McBurnie has joined Vanarama Conference side Chester on a one-month loan deal, subject to the completion of paperwork.

The Scotland Under-19s striker has made 19 first-team appearances for the Bantams, though his outing against Millwall in the third round of the FA Cup was his only one since November. He will join Steve Burr's 17th-placed side and could make his debut in their clash with Kidderminster on Saturday. Fellow youngster Niall Heaton is close to leaving Bradford, with a permanent move to Alfreton nearly completed.
