Football News: Bradford City Bolster Attack with Fulham Striker Olly Sanderson Loan
In a move to strengthen their attacking options, Bradford City have secured the services of Fulham striker Olly Sanderson on a season-long loan. The 20-year-old forward has recently signed a new two-year contract with the Premier League Cottagers, indicating the faith the club has placed in his potential.
Sanderson’s arrival at Bradford City marks a reunion with manager Graham Alexander, who expressed his delight at the signing. “Olly is highly rated at Fulham, and will bring energy, enthusiasm and quality in front of goal,” Alexander told the club’s official website.
Last season, the young striker gained valuable experience on loan, spending time with Oxford City in the National League and Sutton United in League Two, where he showcased his goal-scoring prowess by netting 13 times in 43 matches across those two spells.
The Bantams, who kicked off their League Two campaign with a 2-1 victory away to Milton Keynes Dons on Saturday, will be hoping Sanderson’s addition can provide a further boost to their attacking firepower as they aim to challenge for promotion this season.
