Bradford City are set to sign Adam Phillips from Barnsley, according to reports from Pete O’Rourke of Football Insider. Phillips, who can play as an attacking midfielder, would likely challenge Antoni Sarcevic for a starting spot. The 28-year-old scored nine goals in League One last season, including four times in six games between New Year’s Day and early February. Meanwhile, Jenson Metcalfe is allegedly set to join Millwall, with a video circulating on social media showing him at The Den. Metcalfe, who was nominated for the EFL League One Young Player of the Year prize last season, would be a significant loss for the Bantams. Graham Alexander will be sorry to see him depart, having praised his progress in recent months. The pair of Phillips and Metcalfe would command a fee, as they are both currently under contract with their clubs. Phillips would offer City plenty on and off the field, having captained Barnsley on occasions last season. Many Barnsley fans have expressed disappointment at the potential loss of Phillips, who has been a key player for the Tykes. In addition to the signing of Phillips, the departure of Metcalfe would be a significant blow to the Bantams' midfield department. Alexander will need to find a replacement for Metcalfe, who had developed a strong partnership with Power in the midfield. The transfer window is set to be a busy one for Bradford City, with several players coming and going. Fans will be eager to see how the team shapes up for the new season.
