Bradford City 'close' to landing Sheffield Wednesday and QPR-linked Dundee goalkeeper Jon McCracken

Bradford City are poised to win the race for outgoing Dundee goalkeeper Jon McCracken, according to a report.

The 26-year-old is seeking pastures new as a free agent with his deal at Dens Park due to expire at the end of the month.

He has been linked with a move to newly-relegated League One outfit Sheffield Wednesday, as well as Championship clubs Queens Park Rangers and Blackburn Rovers.

Bradford City ‘close’ to winning race for goalkeeper’s signature

However, according to reporter Alan Nixon via his Patreon page, Bradford are close to winning the race for the former Scotland youth international.

It has been claimed he is keen to test himself in England again having joined Dundee from Norwich City in the summer of 2024.

Bradford are supposedly close to striking a deal for the stopper, who was loaned to the likes of Stevenage and Accrington Stanley during his Norwich days.

As it stands, Bantams goalkeeper Sam Walker does not have a senior competitor for his role between the sticks.

Joe Hilton acted as the understudy last term but was released in the aftermath of Bradford’s League One play-off semi-final heartbreak.

McCracken could prove to be a stern rival for Walker, who has been Graham Alexander’s number one since his arrival from Charlton Athletic in January 2024.

Bradford City’s summer business

Bradford have flown out of the traps in the summer transfer window, moving to sign midfielder Adam Phillips from Barnsley and forward Jake Beesley from Burton Albion.

There have been outgoings too, with the West Yorkshire club having seen midfielders Max Power, Jenson Metcalfe and Tommy Leigh join Wigan Athletic, Millwall and Bristol Rovers respectively.
