Novak arrives for an undisclosed fee signing an 18-month deal at Valley Parade.<\/p>\n<p>Novak is a vastly experienced striker having played for the likes of Charlton Athletic, Huddersfield Town and Birmingham City. He arrives from Bradford\u2019s Yorkshire neighbours Scunthorpe ready to fire Bradford back into League One.<\/p>\n<p>He has been scoring goals for inconsistent Scunthorpe. Gary Bowyer is confident Novak is the striker to score the goals. Bradford are revamping their attack after letting James Vaughan and Eoin Doyle depart the club. Novak will certainly suit Bradford\u2019s direct style of play.<\/p>\n<p>Bradford are winless in six games and Novak needs to hit the ground running from the off with the Bantams clinging on to the final play-off spot.<\/p>\n<p>Novak is eligible to make his debut against Oldham Athletic this weekend.<\/p>\n<h3>What Was Said<\/h3>\n<p>Speaking to the Bradford website about his move, Novak said: \u201cI am buzzing to be here and am really pleased it has happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was put together quite quickly and, as soon as I heard of the interest, I was keen to get everything done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBradford are obviously further up in the league than Scunthorpe and I want to progress and test myself at a higher level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have spoken to the likes of Rory McArdle and Clayton Donaldson, who had nothing but positive things to say.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have heard a lot of great things about Bradford City and cannot wait to get out there and represent the club.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1182035808\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 65.15151% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/1182035808?et=Ks3zULT5Sjl0h70aVzUl8g&amp;tld=co.uk&amp;sig=Vv2R9XAiWRjdpE8v3y8ejLdLhUOxNarYveliz2prv-A=&amp;caption=true&amp;ver=1\" width=\"594\" height=\"387\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bradford City have made their third January signing.
