FORMER Colchester United winger Tyreik Wright has returned to League Two side Bradford City on loan from Plymouth Argyle for the remainder of the 2023/24 season.

The 22-year-old, who made 12 appearances for the U's under Wayne Brown in the 2021-22 campaign, scoring once, has returned to the Bantams following a productive loan spell with them on loan from Premier League side Aston Villa, in the 2022-23 season.

Wright told the Bradford website: “I am absolutely buzzing. I know what it is like to be here, and it was a no-brainer for me to come back with all the love I got from the fans last time.

“I played my best football here, and every game I played with a smile on my face. I feel like I let people down a little bit with the way I left last January, so am here to repay everyone.

“I am looking to get double figures in goals between now and the end of the season and help the club climb back up the table.

“I definitely have unfinished business here and am looking to finish it between now and the end of the season.

 

“I am buzzing to walk out in front of the fans again and hear my name called out. I will try to do my best for them.”

Bradford manager Graham Alexander told the club's website: “We are delighted to be bringing Tyreik back to the club.

“His work rate, pace and goal threat will be very valuable to us, giving us an extra dimension to our attacking options.
