Bradford City summer transfers latest: Barnsley FC star Adam Phillips set for Bantams as Millwall line up Jenson Metcalfe
THE rejig of Bradford City's midfield is set to continue with the club having lined up a move for Barnsley's Adam Phillips – while Jenson Metcalfe was poised for a switch to Millwall last night.
Phillips, 28, who has a left year on his Oakwell deal, has been targeted by City, who recently allowed captain Max Power to return to Wigan Athletic for a third spell.
Metcalfe, 21, joined the Bantams from Everton for an undisclosed fee just under 12 months ago – on a three-year deal.
Several second-tier clubs have been monitoring Metcalfe on the back of a fine first campaign with the club in 2025-26 which saw him scoop three end-of-season awards.
Millwall have made the decisive move in the race for his services and he was undergoing a medical with the London outfit as The Yorkshire Post went to press. He is expected to sign a long-term deal with the Lions.
Phillips joined Barnsley in 2022 and has provided a regular stream of goals during his four seasons at the club.
But with his contract expiring next June, the Reds have been open to the prospect of the Lancastrian moving on if the right deal was reached.
Speaking recently to The Yorkshire Post, Barnsley CEO Jon Flatman spoke about this summer's recruitment theme being on signing young and hungry players capable of fitting in with Daniel Stendel's intense style of play.
Out-of-contract Reds striker David McGoldrick has joined Mansfield Town on a one-year deal.
Harrogate Town have signed King's Lynn midfielder Morgan Williams, who has become the club's fourth summer arrival.
