Bradford City are reportedly exploring a deal to sign former Doncaster Rovers, Liverpool and Oxford United attacker Max Woltman.
The 21-year-old, a forward who can also operate as an attacking midfielder, was nurtured within Liverpool’s youth system.
He starred in various age groups for the Reds and was given his debut in a Champions League win over AC Milan in December 2021.
After two years at the Kassam Stadium, Woltman is now available to snap up on the free agent market.

Bradford City eye ex-Liverpool prospect
According to SportsBoom, both Bradford and their League One rivals Stevenage are exploring the possibility of signing the attacker.
While his experience could hardly be described as extensive, Woltman would be a low-risk addition given his age and free agent status.
He would also add a different dimension to Bradford’s attack and provide depth in a key area.
Liam Manning on Max Woltman
In September 2023, Woltman’s former Oxford boss Liam Manning told the Oxford Mail: “Max has got some abilities, you can’t question that, and he’s a great lad. He’s up for the fight and I think that’s the biggest bit.
“He’s come here and we’ve got some depth and talent, so it’s now about him rolling his sleeves up and delivering.”

New era at Bradford City
It has been a busy summer of business for the Bantams, who have signed nine new players since their promotion from League Two.
A number of the new faces were on display last week as Graham Alexander’s side defeated Wycombe Wanderers 2-1 in their season opener.
Daniel Udoh hit back in the second half but the goal proved to be a mere consolation.
