NICK Colgan, one of the heroes of Barnsley's Championship promotion, could be on his way to Bradford City.
The former Irish international, released by Oakwell chief Simon Davey last season, had been at Ipswich but has left and is training with the League Two outfit.
Colgan entered Barnsley folklore in the 2005-06 season when his saves in the play-off final penalty shoot-out against Swansea took the club back to the second tier of English football after a four-year absence.
Colgan fell out of favour when Davey signed Heinz Muller last year.
