Bantams Miss Out On Benson

Relegation rivals Bradford have missed out in their chase for striker Paul Benson, with Swindon announcing his signing.

The 32 year old will move to the County Ground in exchange for misfit forward Leon Clarke. The Robins had made a late move for Benson in November after Bradford had attempted a last-minute renegotiation on the agreed deal.

Paolo Di Canio has also offloaded a second striker today, with former Torquay man Elliot Benyon joining Southend for an undisclosed fee. The 24 year old joined the Robins in a six-figure move 12 months ago, but started only seven games and spent the first half of this season on loan at Wycombe where he scored only once.

Another departee from the County Ground is former Bulls loanee Jake Jervis, with the 20 year old's loan spell expiring. The Birmingham forward scored five times in 15 games for the club, with Di Canio hoping to secure a longer deal when the transfer window reopens.
