Bradford City is in its first season in League One since 2018/19, following their promotion from League Two last season.
With a last-minute goal securing promotion, the team is performing well, currently sitting third in the league.
They have achieved notable victories against Huddersfield Town and league leaders Cardiff City, raising hopes for another promotion.
To boost their chances, Bradford has been active in the January transfer window, focusing on key areas to strengthen the squad.
In midfield, they have added Louie Sibley on loan from Oxford United and Joe White from Newcastle United.
However, they have not signed a striker after the departure of Andy Cook, the club’s fourth-highest goal-scorer, highlighting the need for a replacement.
The Bantams have now secured Manchester United forward Ethan Wheatley on loan, as confirmed by United’s official website.
Wheatley was previously on loan at Northampton Town but has been recalled for the second half of the season.
With this move, Bradford aims to enhance Wheatley’s development as they pursue promotion, alongside experienced players like Antoni Sarcevic and Stephen Humphrys.
