Bradford City have officially denied that they have any interest in signing out of contract Walsall midfielder Darren Wrack, despite rumours on the Bradford message boards. The Express & Star, however, have named a completely different class of team in connection with Wracky.

Championship team and play-off losers Preston North End are rumoured to be taking an interest in the long serving winger/utility midfield man. This is something of a surprise, as no one was expecting interest from a higher level, unless, of course, it’s a leak from his agent in the hope of getting a better offer from Walsall. Time will tell, but Wrack is quoted as saying:-

“I’ve had a few phone calls but at the moment I’m just waiting to see what happens with Walsall and weighing up my options. The calls have been from clubs in League Two, League One and The Championship, but so far it’s just calls and nothing definite. I don’t really know what’s going to happen, I’m just keeping my options open.”

There is unlikely to be any movement with Wrack’s contract, or the possible aquisition of Chris Westwood from Hartlepool, who the newspaper again confirmed we are interested in, as Chairman Jeff Bonsor is away on holiday. Hartlepool fans on their message boards seem to have convinced themselves that Westwood is on his way, however, with The Saddlers the only team mentioned in the running.
