Darlington have signed Joe Colbeck on loan for a month from fellow Coca-Cola League Two side Bradford City. The move comes just days after the two sides played out a goalless draw at Valley Parade.

A former apprentice, Colbeck broke into the Bantams first team during the 2005/06 season making his debut in a 1-0 defeat at Chesterfield. He was awarded his first professional contract in July 2006.

Colbeck has made a total of fifty-three appearances for the Bantams, his only senior goal being the winner when he came on as substitute in City's 2-1 victory over Lincoln City at Sincil Bank in September.
