21 free agents Bradford City could target ahead of the 2026/27 season

Bradford City are in the process of licking their wounds after missing out on a place in the League One play-off final.

Graham Alexander’s side only clinched promotion from League Two last year, but made a strong start to life back in the third tier.

They finished fourth in the table and set up a semi-final showdown with Bolton Wanderers, who got the better of the Bantams across two legs.

Bradford will be keen to push on again next season and ensure they do not end another campaign with heartbreak. Shrewd transfer business will be required and the free transfer market could prove appealing.

The club’s winter window business was not particularly inspiring and they will be keen to ensure the summer is more productive.

Here are 21 free agents Bradford could potentially target following the publishing of retained lists up and down the country.
