Lloyd John Saxton (born 18 April 1990) is an English footballer who plays for Bradford City as a goalkeeper. He played for Plymouth Argyle before joining Bradford. Career Having progressed through the Plymouth Argyle Centre of Excellence, Saxton came into contention for Argyle's game at then league leaders Bristol City in March 2008 when first team goalkeepers Luke McCormick (suspended) and Romain Larrieu (illness) were unavailable, but missed out when Robert Douglas was signed on a one-week emergency loan. He signed a one-year professional contract with the club on 12 May. On 5 August, Saxton played 90 minutes for Argyle in a pre-season friendly against Swindon Town. Swindon won that match 3-0. He also appeared on the bench for Plymouth in a third round FA Cup tie against Arsenal. He signed a new one-year contract on 22 June 2009. Then, after appearing nearly 30 times on the Plymouth team sheet, Saxton was released in May 2010, without a first team appearance. He immediately joined up with League Two team Bradford City on a one-year contract on 27 May.
