During the 1998âÂÂ99 English football season, Bradford City competed in the Football League First Division.
In the summer, Jewell signed strikers Lee Mills from Port Vale and Isaiah Rankin from Arsenal, for ã1 million and ã1.3 million respectively, and signed former captain Stuart McCall from Rangers on a free transfer to lead the side. Despite a poor start, Bradford secured promotion to the top division for the first time in 77 years with a 3âÂÂ2 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the final game of the 1998-99 season. Bradford's success meant that Dean Windass, who had signed from Oxford United in March, became the club's third ã1 million signing of the season: Windass had originally been signed for ã950,000, but an additional fee of ã50,000 was paid to Oxford because of Bradford's promotion.
