BRADFORD City captain Max Power has agreed a move to League One rivals Wigan Athletic for an undisclosed fee.

The switch will officially be completed when the summer transfer window opens on June 15.

The 32-year-old leaves after just one season in West Yorkshire.

He signed a two-year deal with City in May 2025 after spending the 2024-25 season with Danish top-flight club Aarhus.

The Wirral-born midfielder was a mainstay in City’s drive to the League One play-offs last term and made 51 appearances in all competitions for the Bantams.

Power, who is based in the north west, has had two previous productive spells with Wigan and now returns for a third spell with the Latics.

He previously made 244 appearances across two previous stints – in what proved to be a golden association with the Red Rose outfit, which saw the club win three League One titles with the club in 2015-16, 2017-18 and 2021-22.

Power left Wigan for a second time in the summer of 2023, despite then boss Shaun Maloney wanting to retain him. He elected to pursue a fresh challenge in Saudi Arabia with Al-Qadsiah FC, who were then managed by Robbie Fowler.
