Bradford City transfers: Bantams sign Portsmouth defender to round off busy summer window

BRADFORD City have made a beat-the-deadline swoop to sign Portsmouth defender Tom McIntyre on a season-long loan.

He has become the club’s 11th summer window arrival.

McIntyre is not part of John Mousinho’s first-team plans at Fratton Park, with the Championship club having been working behind the scenes on finding a move for the 26-year-old.

McIntyre has joined on a season-long loan in a move which will cover the remainder of the Pompey contract he signed in January last year.

"It is a massive club with great history and an unbelievable fanbase too.”

Boss Graham Alexander added: “It is great to be able to bring Tom in to add to our strength and quality. He has Championship experience.”
