Former promotion-winning Owls goalkeeper Cameron Dawson has signed for a League One club.

The 31-year-old, who won promotion with Sheffield Wednesday in 2023, has penned an initial one-year deal with Bradford City, who The Owls host in their first home league game of the new season next week. He played 129 times in competitive football for his boyhood club between 2013 and 2024, leaving a year after playing a starring role in the League One play-off final that secured Wednesday’s promotion back to the Championship three years ago.

Dawson returned to train with Wednesday this summer, attending their training camps at St George’s Park and in Europe, before earning himself a contract at the Bantams. Dawson was with Wednesday when they were short of stoppers before they signed three in Joe Lumley, Ashley-Maynard-Brewer and Connal Trueman.

Bradford finished in the play-offs in their first year back in League One last season. Their visit to Hillsborough next Thursday is set to be an exciting one, with a bumper crowd expected. Such is the demand, the bottom tier of the West Stand has been made available to Wednesdayites.

“I am delighted,” Dawson said after signing on the dotted line. “Having been here this morning and seeing the size of the football club and the stadium, knowing what this club means to the community, I am really happy to be here. The club has everything it needs to have, with everyone pulling in the right direction. With the good group of players we have, hopefully it continues.”

City boss Graham Alexander added: “Cameron is a 'keeper we have looked at previously and know quite well. He is determined to show his skill-set with us and alongside Jon (McCracken), we will have a very trustworthy and competitive goalkeeper department.”
