Riley secures Bradford City move

Manchester United defender Joe Riley has signed for Bradford City on a two-year contract.

The 21-year-old captained the Under-23s last season and scored a memorable goal in the best performance of the campaign at that level, a 2-1 victory against Liverpool at Anfield.

After making two first-team appearances during Louis van Gaal's reign, against Shrewsbury Town and Midtjylland, he was loaned to Sheffield United in 2017 but suffered a serious shoulder injury in training which curtailed his progress.

The spell with the Blades does mean the full-back has a little experience of life in League One and he will look to help the Bantams mount another challenge for promotion.
