Having finally recovered match fitness after suffering a cruciate knee ligament injury towards the end of 1998, Robert was unable to break into the first team at Leeds and in December he moved on to local rivals Bradford City. He went straight in the first team for the home game against Coventry and retained his place until the end of the season. A commanding central defender with a no-nonsense attitude, he proved to be an outstanding signing for the Bantams but was unable to prevent them dropping down to the First Division.
