Peter Taylor moved to boost his striking options by completing the signing of Mansfield Town striker Jake Speight for £25,000.

Speight, 24, put pen to paper on a two year contract to become Taylor's fifth summer signing.

The 5' 8'' striker joined the Bantams after enjoying a hugely successful season at Field Mill with the Stags.

The Sheffield born striker finished the 2009/10 campaign as Mansfield's top scorer.

Speight managed to notch up 17 goals in the Blue Square Premier last season despite starting only 15 matches. Such form meant Speight was reportedly on the radars of several league clubs, but in the end it was the Bantams who have managed to secure his signature.

After starting his career at Sheffield United in 2004, Speight enjoyed a brief spell at Scarborough before returning into league football with Bury.

Speight featured at Gigg Lane for two years as he continued to learn his trade. Searching for more regular first team football, Speight left the Shakers to join Northwich Victoria in 2007.

After a season with Northwich, Speight returned to Yorkshire with Farsley Celtic, where he scored six goals in 15 matches.

A move to Droylsden beckoned for Speight in 2009 before he moved his career to another level at Mansfield with his amazing goalscoring feats.
