Pennington becomes seventh Bradford signing

Matthew Pennington began his career in Everton's youth set-up

Bradford City have completed their seventh signing of the summer with the capture of Matthew Pennington.

The defender has signed a two-year contract after his previous deal with Blackpool expired.

Pennington leaves Bloomfield Road, having played 67 games for the Seasiders across two seasons, scoring four goals.

"We feel Matt will fit in with our way of playing really well, with his attributes and experience, whilst also having a great attitude and team ethic," manager Graham Alexander told the Bradford website.

The Bantams are preparing for their first season in League One since 2019 following last season's promotion.
