The Bantams are now being reported to be making a decision on whether to acquire the signature of free agent David Edgar to strengthen up the team, after marking an impression on the club's manager David Hopkin during training.
Having been released from Ottawa Fury last year, the defender is still on the market for a new club to join and could just be set to return for English football due to Bradford heavy interest in him and making quite an impression in his first training with the club's team.
Bradford's manager Hopkin spoke to the Telegraph and Argus where he claimed that a decision whether to sign the player or not will be made in the next 48 hours.
Speaking to the media, Hopkin said:
“He’s looked good in training. It’s difficult because obviously, we don’t have an under-23s or reserve team where we could give players a game and see what they can do. We’ll wait and see over the next 48 hours and see how he is. If it doesn’t materialise, then I’ve still got plenty of cover here and players I feel are good enough to see us through to the end of the season.”
The Canadian defender got his first taste of football when he joined Newcastle United as a 14-year-old kid back in 2001 and went on to make his first team debut for the club in 2006. During his spell the Magpies Edgar was unable to get enough game time which ultimately led to his transfer to Burnley in 2009, with www.omegatipsters.com offering some great odds for his most likely destination.
The Canadian defender has then went off to ply his trade with Birmingham City, Huddersfield Town and Sheffield United before leaving English football and moved overseas. After his departure from England in 2016, Edgar continued his football career in USA and Canada, where he played for Vancouver Whitecaps, Nashville SC and Ottawa Fury.
Training with a club should be a huge sign to Bradford fans as a deal could be striked as the Canadian defender made a good impression on the club's manager Hopkin, who would like to strengthen up his team for the forthcoming matches as his team continues to struggle most especially in the defense line.
And as you all know we are currently in the relegation zone and will be keen to get out with Edgar offering us a better backline to solve the defensive errors that has leaked 52 goals in the League One this season.
