Bradford City legend Dean Windass has urged the club’s in-form striker Nahki Wells not to be in any rush to leave Valley Parade.The Bermuda international, who struck City’s first hat-trick for four years against Northampton Town last weekend, has attracted the attention of suitors in the higher divisions.The 21-year-old currently has another season to go at Valley Parade after the League Two side took up an option to extend his initial one-year deal.And they hope he will sign an improved deal in the summer but could face a fight to keep him.Bantams favourite Windass believes his old club must strive to hang on to the former Dandy Town man, who is thought to be one of the lowest paid players in Phil Parkinson’s squad.And he believes Wells would be making a mistake if he made the jump to a bigger club too soon.“My advice to Nahki is to concentrate on playing for Bradford City. Don’t let anybody turn your head,” Windass told the Bradford Telegraph and Argus.“Learn your trade at the club and don’t be too anxious to go somewhere else. The important thing is that he needs to be playing every week.“Nahki needs to get himself established with another couple of years at Valley Parade. He will get the regular game time there to improve as a player.“If he goes to another club, he could end up stuck on the bench. That’s the last thing you need as a young player.“Forget about the money. He’s a young kid and his time will come as he moves up the leagues.“First and foremost, Bradford City need to make sure he goes nowhere.”Wells, who has scored 11 goals in his first full season as a professional, has forged a potent big-man-little-man partnership with James Hanson.And Windass believes the pair can help the club build towards a brighter future.“Nahki’s still got that naivety but he knows the game. He knows when to gamble off Hanson’s flick-ons,” said Windass, City’s all-time third highest scorer.“He’s also quite brave for a little lad. He might be like a greyhound but he’s not frightened to put himself about in the right manner.“It helps when you get a favourite pairing up front. You’ve got that little and large combination, two different types.“I was a bit unfortunate at Bradford because I had that many strike partners. I enjoyed playing with Dele Adebola the most and he was only there a couple of months.“But he would take the battering and I fed off all the scraps that’s what Nahki does with big James.“James is learning the game as well. I had a chat with him at Christmas about how to create fouls and back into people, clever little things like that.“Together they are working well and it’s a massive boost for the club. It’s been a long time since they had a centre forward who you could rely on getting goals.”Wells hopes to overhaul Hanson as City’s top scorer over the final three games. He heads into today’s home match with relegation threatened Macclesfield two goals behind.Windass would not be surprised if he continues on where he left off at Northampton.“Bradford City fans take to players who score goals. You get that rapport going with the crowd and they will love him,” he said.“The boy will be really looking forward to the next game. He’ll be champing at the bit to get back out there.“He knows he’ll be playing and his confidence will be sky high. He’ll know that the other players will be thinking ‘get the ball in the box and he’ll score’.“It’s still early days for the lad but what a great start to his career. He’s only 21 now that was the age when I came in to the game.“You don’t know what’s going to happen but my advice to the club is to make him feel wanted.“They need to do whatever they can to keep him.”
