Bradford sign Wigan midfielder Adams on loan

Joe Adams made 21 appearances for Morecambe during a loan spell last season

Wigan Athletic midfielder Joe Adams has signed for Bradford City on a season-long loan.

The 20-year-old has yet to make a first-team appearance for the Latics after signing professional terms with them two years ago but scored twice in 21 appearances on loan at Morecambe last season.

Born in Guernsey, Adams joined National League club Eastleigh's under-16 side in 2021 and went on loan to Southern League outfit Sholing in the 2021-22 season.

Bantams manager Graham Alexander told the club website: “We have had to be patient waiting for Joe to join us, so we are very happy he is now here. His ability on the ball and running power will be a great addition to us."
