2023–2024 League Two Transfers In

If McDonald is fit, that's a great signing for Bradford.

If it wasn't for him needing a kidney transplant he would still be at a higher level.  Got games last season for Exeter after signing in January and did pretty well I think.

If McDonald is fit, that's a great signing for Bradford.

If it wasn't for him needing a kidney transplant he would still be at a higher level.  Got games last season for Exeter after signing in January and did pretty well I think.

No questioning his pedigree, but 34, barely 20 appearances since Covid kicked off and running on a borrowed kidney, it’s got to be a huge ask of him to negotiate the rigours of League Two football over a long, hard season, hasn’t it?
