Bradford boss full of praise for Wells

Bradford City manager Phil Parkinson has praised Nahki Wells’ “incredible athleticism” and believes there’s a lot more to come from the Bermuda international.The 21-year-old striker scored his third goal of the season for the Bantams in their 3-0 win over Crewe Alexandra on Boxing Day.Wells’ strike may have been a lucky one with a defensive header ricocheting off him, but Parkinson thinks he is taking to the role.“Nahki is a handful because he’s got incredible athleticism. He’s got pace and he’ll just keep going,” he said.“We want him to play it simple in the middle of the pitch, chase things down, and that’s when he shows that extra bit of quality that he’s got.“It’s about educating him about being a forward in this division. The good sign for Nahki is that he’s learning quickly and you’ve got to do that in football.“For me, he’s at the start of that learning curve. There’s a lot to come from him.”Wells, who signed a one-year deal at Bradford in the summer, has made four starts and eight appearances this season.
