Bradford City transfer deadline day news: Loan signing Tyreik Wright offers directness and trickery
The Republic of Ireland under-21 international has already made 44 League Two appearances on loan at Walsall, Salford City and Colchester United. And he should be in condition to come straight into the side if required, having already played three Premier League 2 matches for Villa this season, scoring one goal and making another.
"Everyone has been so welcoming, the stadium looks unbelievable and I just cannot wait to play in front of the supporters," said the 20-year-old.

“There will be a lot of healthy competition here, but I am ready for it. I am looking forward to learning from the other players in my position, and working with a manager like Mark Hughes.
“He has outlined the ambitions of this club and what the fans expect, so I just cannot wait to get started, play in front of this crowd and embrace the challenge.”
Wright is the second Premier League winger to join on a season-long loan this season, with Scott Banks having already made a good impression after joining from Crystal Palace.

“He has a great turn of pace, trickery and technical ability and - with three goals for Republic of Ireland’s under-21 side - a clear eye for goal.”
