Centre back Paudie O'Connor has had his loan deal cancelled early by Leeds, as the Irishman begins a new loan spell at Bradford City. His new loan deal at League One rival Bradford is set to last until the end of the season and opens up another loan spot for the Seasiders to utilise.
O'Connor, who is still only 21, appeared 17 times for Blackpool this season and failed to tie down a starting spot as he found himself part of one of the best defences in the League. O'Connor played in both Arsenal games and had quite the time, scoring and getting sent off at the Emirates and shipping three goals at Bloomfield Road.
O'Connor will have gained a wealth of experience from his time by the seaside and will hope to take this forward to his time in Bradford.
He spoke to the club website saying,
“I am really happy to get the deal over the line and, after speaking to the manager, I can’t wait to get going."
David Hopkins also spoke on the deal adding,
"We are delighted to have Paudie on board for the remainder of the season."

Guess Leeds feel O'Connor was not getting enough game time at Blackpool.
