Career

Born in Huddersfield,[1] Sykes-Kenworthy began playing for Bradford City at under-8 level, and signed a two-year professional contract in March 2018.[2] Later that month he joined Stalybridge Celtic on loan, making 11 appearances in all competitions.[3] His loan spell was intended by Bradford City to help the player's growth.[4]

In May 2018 he was named Bradford City's 'Youth Team Player of the Year' for the 2017–18 season.[5]

He signed a one-month loan deal with Stafford Rangers in December 2018.[6] He made 5 league appearances.[7][8][9][10][11]

In July 2019 he signed on loan for Guiseley.[12] His loan ended in September 2019, with Bradford City manager Gary Bowyer saying he was considering sending him back out on loan.[13] He made his senior debut for Bradford City later that month, in the EFL Trophy.[14][15]

On 26 May 2020 it was announced that he was one of 10 players who would leave Bradford City when their contract expired on 30 June 2020.[16]
