Bradford City have secured the signature of Aaron McLean on a permanent deal from Premier League side Hull City.
McLean, 30, has signed a two-and-a-half year deal at the Coral Windows Stadium late last night before being unveiled as a Bradford player today.
Subject to clearances, McLean is set to go straight into Bantam’s squad for their Yorkshire derby at Sheffield United on Saturday.
The signing of McLean, who is a proven goalscorer in the Football League, is sure to boost fans hopes after the disappointment of seeing Nakhi Wells move on to Huddersfield Town.
Speaking on the official website, Manager Phil Parkinson said: “I’m thrilled by the arrival of Aaron. He is someone I have monitored for a while now and he has a proven record at this level. Aaron is a fantastic player and he will be a great personality to have around the dressing room. I am sure he is going to be an excellent acquisition for the football club.”
McLean spent most of the last two years playing Championship football with Hull and during two loan spells at Ipswich Town and Birmingham City.
The striker has featured for Hull in the Premiership this season, making an appearance in their fixture away at Tottenham Hotspur and he scored in their recent F.A Cup third round win at Middlesbrough.
