The Bantams completed their fourth signing of the summer on Friday, welcoming Aden Baldwin to the University of Bradford Stadium.
We caught up with the central defender upon signing to get his initial thoughts on being a Bantam.
Q: Aden, a two-year contract here at Bradford City. How does it feel to get that over the line?
A: I am delighted to get the deal done. I have had a few conversations with the gaffer, I am here now, and I am really buzzing to be here.
Q: How important were the conversations with the manager to sell the club to you, and what we are all about?
A: Me and the manager had a few conversations, long ones as well, and I did not have a bad conversation with him, so I think that speaks volumes about why I am here. He is a big reason as to why I am here.
Q: You have not played here so far in your career, but I am sure you have heard stories. How excited are you to get out on the pitch and have the home fans behind you?
A: Yeah, unfortunately I missed the chance to play here last season and I was gutted because it is such a big stadium with a great fanbase and plenty of season tickets sold, so I am really looking forward to playing here.
Q: You mention the season tickets, now with over 13,500 season tickets sold so far, how much of a driving factor was that in your decision to come and sign for Bradford City?
A: Yeah, definitely, it was a massive factor. To get that large of a fanbase - especially in League Two - is huge, and I think it will be good for me to play in front of fans like that, and hopefully thrive off their support.
Q: So, would you say you thrive off that big game feel?
A: Definitely. Me personally, I like to play in front of big crowds and lots of fans, so hopefully that allows me to play my best game.
Q: For the fans that might not have seen you before, what sort of player would you describe yourself as?
A: That could be a question for the gaffer, but I like to be a mobile centre-back and I also like to play with the ball at my feet, out from the back.
Q: You have got your future secured quite early this summer. How much of a big positive is that, to get a full pre-season under your belt with the manager, following that regime and getting ready to report back for training?
A: Yeah, I am happy to get this deal sorted early on, as I can now settle in with the team and get to grips with the environment here. I am really looking forward to it.
Q: How excited are you to meet some of the team here and to get into the dressing room atmosphere?
A: Yeah, definitely. I do not know some of the lads here, so it will certainly be a new environment for me, and I am really looking forward to meeting the team.
Q: Do you have a final message for the Bradford City fans?
A: Hopefully you can turn out in your numbers, and we can give you a successful season.
