Overview
- Ethan Wheatley was brought back from Northampton Town under a mid-season break clause, with the BBC-cited plan to secure him a new loan once he is fit.
- Bradford City are reported to have an agreement to take Wheatley on loan for the rest of the season, though the move has not been announced by the clubs.
- The England youth international made 25 appearances for Northampton, registering three goals and four assists, and last featured on December 29 after picking up an injury.
- Northampton manager Kevin Nolan said the club was disappointed by the recall but proud of Wheatley’s progress during his stint at Sixfields.
- The recall is one of several January adjustments to United’s academy placements, with Toby Collyer, Sonny Aljofree and Louis Jackson also returned and Elyh Harrison expected to follow as Stephen Torpey oversees loans.
