Taylor Ragan quits Leeds United to join Bradford AFC
Taylor Ragan has quit Leeds United to join National League North side Bradford (Park Avenue) AFC.
The 18-year-old, who was on the books at Elland Road [Official Premier League website] was named among the substitutes against Gateshead today, March 26.
Bradford then confirmed via their official website that he had been signed from Leeds.
They wrote, “Eagle-eyed viewers will have seen a new name amongst the subs today! Taylor Ragan, who earlier this month joined on a work experience deal from Leeds United and has impressed in training enough to be selected in today’s squad!
“Good luck Taylor.”
Hope he thrives
Bradford state that it’s a work experience deal so he could be gone temporarily and not permanently left Elland Road.
It’s good for academy players to get first-team football, even if it is a few divisions down the pyramid in the country.
Hopefully, he thrives there and becomes worthy of being in contention for the first team in the next three or four years.
He certainly has his admirers at Thorp Arch and they will be keeping an eye on what he does there.
In August 2020, LUFC Youth Academy waxed lyrical over him on Twitter.
They wrote, ” Taylor Ragan is a left sided player with great energy and a fantastic delivery in the final third.
“Taylor has been in the academy since a young age and won player of the year at U15 level before a serious injury put the youngster out of action for a significant period of time.”
We’re backing him to have a phenomenal time there.
