Bradford City Signs Former Sheffield Wednesday Goalkeeper Cameron Dawson
Bradford City has signed former Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Cameron Dawson in a significant transfer move ahead of the new season. Dawson, a 31-year-old promotion-winning goalkeeper, has penned an initial one-year deal with the Bantams.
Why it Matters for Bradford City
The signing of Dawson is a major coup for Bradford City, who finished in the play-offs in their first year back in League One last season. With Dawson on board, the Bantams will have a reliable and experienced goalkeeper to lead their team.
What Comes Next?
Bradford City will face Sheffield Wednesday in their first home league game of the new season next week, and Dawson's presence will undoubtedly add an extra layer of excitement to the match. With the demand for tickets expected to be high, the bottom tier of the West Stand has been made available to Wednesdayites.
Cameron Dawson, who played 129 times in competitive football for Sheffield Wednesday between 2013 and 2024, said: "I am delighted to have signed for Bradford City. Having been here this morning and seeing the size of the football club and the stadium, knowing what this club means to the community, I am really happy to be here. The club has everything it needs to have, with everyone pulling in the right direction. With the good group of players we have, hopefully it continues."
City boss Graham Alexander added: "Cameron is a 'keeper we have looked at previously and know quite well. He is determined to show his skill-set with us and alongside Jon (McCracken), we will have a very trustworthy and competitive goalkeeper department."
As of August 13, 2026, Bradford City are 4th in League One, with 73 points from 44 games, and a recent form of DDLWW. They have scored 55 goals and conceded 49 this season, with a +6 goal difference.
