Thorne has spent two seasons at Bradford

Bradford City's leading goalscorer Peter Thorne says he wants to stay at the club next season.

The 35-year-old striker's contract expires after Saturday's final League Two game of the season at Chesterfield.

"I would love to stay here. I have another year left in me at least, so we'll see what happens," Thorne told BBC Radio Leeds.

"The fans have been great to me here and that's one of the main reason I want to stay."

Thorne scored two goals in the 3-0 demolition of Yorkshire rivals Rotherham United in Bradford's final home game of the season on Saturday.

That brace takes him to 17 goals in a season where he has been troubled by injuries.

"With the way we've folded in the last month or so I honestly haven't thought about a new contract.

"Like all the boys, I've just been focused on trying to turn it around and get us in the play-offs.

"I'll give it a few weeks and then decide, I'm two off 200 career goals so I want to continue.

"Promotion just clearly wasn't meant to be this season, but hopefully we'll do it next season and we'll see if I'm involved."
