Bradford City are closing in on the signing of Dundee goalkeeper Jon McCracken in what would be a notable transfer coup for the Bantams.
Transfer specialist Alan Nixon reports that Bradford are set to beat QPR and Sheffield Wednesday to the 26-year-old, who is available after leaving Dundee.
McCracken is understood to be keen on a return to English football after spending the last two-and-a-half years in Scotland.
The move would give Bradford fresh competition in goal ahead of the new season. Sam Walker was a regular last term and kept 14 clean sheets, but McCracken’s arrival would increase the battle for the No 1 shirt.
McCracken came through at Hamilton before joining Norwich City’s set-up in 2021. He did not make a senior appearance for the Canaries, but gained EFL experience during loan spells with Stevenage and Accrington Stanley.
He was Dundee’s first-choice goalkeeper last season and played more than 3,500 minutes in all competitions.
Blackburn Rovers have also been linked with a move for McCracken in recent months.
