Adams expressed his enthusiasm about the move to Bradford City:
“I am buzzing to be here. I have waited quite a while over the summer and pre-season, but I am happy to be here now. I am really looking forward to starting and am ready to make an impact here. Hopefully, we can have a successful season, and I am looking forward to seeing your support on Saturday.”
Manager’s endorsement
Graham Alexander, the manager of Bradford City, also shared his excitement about the new signing:
“We have had to be patient waiting for Joe to join us, so we are very happy he is now here. His ability on the ball and running power will be a great addition to us. He is another player hungry to be successful, and I am sure his character and qualities will impress everyone.”
Sponsorship and squad details
For the 2024/25 season, Joe Adams will wear the No.25 shirt in claret and amber. His sponsorship has been secured by Darren Pickersgill. The completion of this move is pending the necessary clearances from the EFL and FA.
Bradford City supporters and football fans alike will be keen to see how Adams integrates into the team and contributes to their ambitions for the season.
