Tranmere Rovers keen on former Everton and Norwich City striker

Tranmere Rovers have joined the race to sign striker James Vaughan.

Bradford City are keen on the 31-year-old as well but will have to face competition from Micky Mellon’s side, according to journalist Alan Nixon on Twitter.

Tranmere are in the hunt for some reinforcements to their squad following their promotion to League One. They see Vaughan has someone who can replace last season’s top scorer, James Norwood, who left the club to join Ipswich Town earlier this month.

Vaughan, who is a former England Under-21 international, is a free agent after leaving Championship side Wigan Athletic at the end of the season. He spent the second-half of the last campaign on loan in the third tier with Portsmouth.

He started his career not far away from Tranmere at Everton and went onto make 60 appaerances for the Premier League outfit. He also enjoyed various loan spells away from Goodison Park with the likes of Derby County, Leicester City and Crystal Palace.

Vaughan joined Norwich City in the top flight in 2011 but his time at Carrow Road was affected by injuries meaning he was limited to just six appearances. He was loaned out to Huddersfield Town before joining them permanently in 2013.

Spells at Birmingham City, Bury, Sunderland, Wigan and Pompey have followed for Vaughan and he is now weighing up his options.

The experienced striker has scored goals in League One before and would be a decent signing for Tranmere this summer.
