Career to date
Samuels joined Wolves at the age of eight and has spent his whole career on the books at Molinuex.
He has been a regular for the Midlands club at various youth levels in the past but is yet to make a first-team appearance for the Premier League side.
The attacker was loaned out for the first time to Kidderminster Harriers in the National League North during the season before last.
He made six appearances for the non-league outfit and didn’t score.
Bradford then swooped to sign him in October last year and he managed to bag once in 14 appearances in all competitions for the Bantams.
