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.

Capped five times by the Republic of Ireland U21 side, Cullen enjoyed his experience with Bradford last season and it served him well.

“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.”

Best of luck to Josh for the coming season!
