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!
