Liverpool’s Hansen Switches To City

The Bantams have signed Liverpool goalkeeper Martin Hansen on a month’s loan as Peter Jackson continues his attempts to freshen up his squad.

The Danish-born 21-year-old has been on the staff at Anfield since joining from Brondby in the summer of 2006 and he was part of the Reds’ FA Youth Cup winning side a year later.

Hansen is yet to play for Liverpool, though he was on the bench in last season’s Carling Cup defeat to Northampton Town and was named in six match-day squads under Roy Hodgson.

Since Kenny Dalglish’s arrival, however, his chances have been limited with Peter Gualacsi having been preferred as back-up to Pepe Reina.

City chairman Mark Lawn said: “He is coming in for Peter to have a look at him. The plan is for him to play in a friendly and see how he does.”
