Our assessment…
“The signing of Alex Pattison from Harrogate Town is arguably Bradford’s best of summer. The midfielder has adapted well to life at Valley Parade and will be a key player for them this season.
“Mark Hughes has brought in some useful experience with the additions of Ash Taylor and Kevin McDonald. Tyler Smith, who left Hull City at the end of June, will be eager to get some more goals and could turn into an inspired acquisition if he can find form.
“The loan signings of Rayhaan Tulloch and Chisom Afoka from West Brom and Aston Villa are a bit of gamble as you never know whether young loanees will be able to perform. Nevertheless, they both add useful options at the top end of the pitch and will learn a lot from playing under Mark Hughes.
“As for the outgoings, Bradford have freed up space in their squad and will have reduced their wage bill which is a boost. They have a few players out on loan now such as Jake Young and Ryan East who will be eager to show what they can do.”
