Bradford City have announced that manager Phil Parkinson has signed a new three-year deal with the club.

Assistant manager Steve Parkin and head of sports science Nick Allamby have also put pen to paper on new three-year deals.

Parkinson led Bradford to promotion this season by beating Northampton Town in Saturday's League Two playoff final.

He told the club's official website: "I am very pleased to secure my place here - it is very important for the continuity of the football club.

"I had verbally agreed my contract with Julian [Rhodes, joint-chairman] a long time ago really, but didn't want anything to detract from our main focus throughout the playoffs, which was obviously to get promoted.

"Now that aim has been achieved, I was able to sit down with the two chairmen this morning and get the contract all finalised.

"We've had a terrific season, but we know have an important summer ahead of us now. We can't sit back on what we have achieved - we have to keep working and striving forward. We have to keep improving the club in all departments."

Parkinson, who also took Bradford to the final of the Capital One Cup this season, was appointed manager in 2011.
