HITC Sport understands Bradford are poised to sign free agent Josh Wright.
Bradford City have agreed a deal to sign former Southend midfielder Josh Wright, HITC Sport understands.
Wright is a free agent after seeing out his contract at Southend earlier this summer.
Wright joined Southend last summer after leaving from Gillingham and signed a deal which included a clause for an extra year once he had played a certain number of games.
However, the club tried to get Wright to take the deal on reduced terms and both parties decided on a parting of the ways.
A number of clubs have been weighing up a move for the classy midfielder when Wright one of the best free agents in the Football League.
Managerless Bradford are keen to bolster their squad for next season after a disappointing campaign this term and they see Wright as a valuable addition to their plans.
Wright began his career at Charlton and he was fast-tracked into the first-team at the age of 16 by then-manager Alan Pardew.
The former England Under-19 international has made 119 appearances at Championship level for Charlton, Scunthorpe and Millwall.
