Bradford swoop to sign striker Poleon from Dons

-

BRADFORD CITY have completed the signing of AFC Wimbledon striker Dominic Poleon for an undisclose­d fee – their third close-season capture.

The former Leeds United forward, 23, has penned a twoyear deal and follows on from the signings of Charlton Athletic defender Adam Chicksen and former Rotherham United winger Paul Taylor.

Poleon – who also had a loan spell at Sheffield United – scored 13 goals in 49 appearance­s in all competitio­ns for the Dons last season.

Meanwhile, Middlesbro­ugh winger Viktor Fischer has joined Bundesliga side Mainz for an undisclose­d fee after an unproducti­ve spell on Teesside.

The 23-year-old joined Boro for around £3.8m from Ajax last summer and made just 16 appearance­s for the club.

On completing the move, Danish internatio­nal Fischer said: “Mainz is the right club for me to be able to really enjoy my football again.”

Promising Sheffield Wednesday duo Cameron Dawson and winger Jack Stobbs have agreed new deals.

Keeper Dawson, 21, who featured four times for the first team last season, has penned a new three-year deal.

Stobbs, 20, who captained the developmen­t team to Premier Developmen­t League 2 success last season, has signed for another year. He joined the club’s academy at the age of just six and has made two brief substitute appearance­s, the last of which came at Wolverhamp­ton Wanderers on the final day of the 2015-16 campaign.

Young Barnsley striker Bradley Ash has joined National League outfit Boreham Wood on a season-long loan. The 21-yearold joined the Reds in 2016 from Weston-super-Mare but has so far not made a first-team appearance for the club.
