The 19-year-old defender, a graduate of the club’s academy, made his first league start on the final day of the season against a Morecambe side managed by new Bantams boss Derek Adams.
Adams told the club’s website: “Jorge is one of many promising young players we are delighted to have in the squad ahead of next season.
“I got a good look at him on the final day of the regular season when he played against my Morecambe side, and was impressed by what I saw.”
Sikora said: “I was delighted to get the phone call saying my contract would be extended. It is all tunnel vision ahead of next year now.
“I have been here since the under-13s and came through with the likes of Finn Cousin-Dawson, Kian Scales and Reece Staunton. There is a clear pathway to the first team from the academy, and I am pleased to have been able to step up with them.”
