The 23-year-old forward has been on the books at the Bantams since 2022, but has made just 18 appearances for them so far
Young spent last season at League Two side Swindon Town on loan and impressed with 20 direct goal contributions in 29 league appearances.
Now he is back at Bantams and League One sides are showing interest in the Bradford City striker.
The likes of Crawley Town and Stevenage have tested that water with Bradford City for Young already.
And now it has been suggested that Wigan Athletic and Barnsley are now in the race to sign Young.
The Bantams are interested in Latics midfielder Joe Adams and it could favour Wigan Athletic to strike a deal with them for Young
Adams, 20, spent time away from Wigan Athletic on loan at Morecambe in the last campaign to get some experience under his belt. He is now back at The Brick Community Stadium and his current club have a decision to make on what to do with him next ahead of the deadline on Friday 30th August.
In this latest update regarding his situation by journalist Nixon on his Patreon, he has emerged on the radar of the Bantams as they hunt for some more new faces over the next couple of weeks. Graham Alexander’s side are aiming for promotion to League One this term after missing out on the play-offs last time around.
Eastleigh then picked him up in 2021 and he spent time away from the National League outfit at Sholing before Wigan Athletic came calling.
He was handed his first professional contract by the Latics in 2022 and was loaned out to AFC Totton to boost his development.
The prospect has never made a competitive senior appearance for Shaun Maloney’s side and could do with getting some game time elsewhere.
Morecambe were given the green light to land him on a temporary basis last season and he went on to play 21 games for the Shrimps, chipping in with two goals.
His contract at Wigan Athletic expires in 2025 meaning they will need to address his long-term situation sooner rather than later.
What next for Wigan Athletic?A move to Bradford City would suit all parties involved here.His chances of breaking into the Latics’ starting XI are slim right now and he needs minutes.
