Bradford eager to re-sign Josh Cullen

League 1 side Bradford are eager to re-sign West Ham midfielder Josh Cullen for the 2016/17 season.

According to the Yorkshire Post, Bradford hope to convince Slaven Bilic and West Ham to allow the young midfielder to return to Valley Parade.

The 20-year-old joined Bradford in the second half of last season on a three-month loan deal and was very impressive, making 17 appearances for the side as they surged into the Play-Offs.

Cullen’s experience with Bradford has helped him a lot, but the player himself wants to continue his development at West Ham this term and hopefully make more of an impression in the first-team.

“The aim is to be in and around the first team squad. I was on the bench a few times last year and now it’s time to kick on with a good loan spell under my belt. I need to make sure I try and cement my place in it.

“I enjoyed my time on loan at Bradford and it helped me gain experience and learn more about the game.

“It was my first time away from West Ham and I think that’s helped me grow up as a player.

“Now I’m just looking forward to getting back to West Ham and kicking on and trying to make an impression during pre-season.”

West Ham are said to be unwilling to allow Cullen leave on loan this season until their transfer business is complete and they have an idea on numbers for the forthcoming season, but Bradford are hoping to convince the Hammers to allow the Republic of Ireland U21 international to re-join on a temporary basis.
