Bradford City have completed the signing of Leicester City midfielder Henry Cartwright for an undisclosed fee, with the 21-year-old penning a three-year contract at Valley Parade.
Who is Henry Cartwright?
Cartwright, a product of Leicester’s academy since under-nine level, never made a senior appearance for the Foxes but impressed during a loan spell with Scottish Premiership side Falkirk last season. He scored twice in 42 appearances across all competitions, showcasing his energy and passing range.
What does this mean for Bradford City?
Manager Graham Alexander highlighted Cartwright’s competitive edge, ambition, and technical ability as key assets for the Bantams. The club, who finished 4th in League One last season with 77 points (22W-11D-13L), will look to the young midfielder to bolster their squad ahead of the new campaign.
What’s next for the Bantams?
With the 2026-27 season yet to begin, Bradford City’s recent form (WDDDL) and a +7 goal difference (58 scored, 51 conceded) suggest a side capable of challenging at the top. Cartwright’s arrival adds depth to a midfield aiming to close the 26-point gap to leaders Lincoln from last term.
