Thierry Nevers' first words after joining Bradford City on loan from West Ham United

Thierry Nevers has completed his loan move to Bradford City, where he is 'looking forward' to helping the club secure promotion to League One.

Reports broke on Monday that a deal was edging closer, especially after a now-deleted announcement on the West Ham club website on Monday lunchtime confirming the deal.

Nevers spent the first half of the season out on loan with fellow fourth-tier side Newport County but returned to the Hammers and will play under former Manchester City manager Mark Hughes at Valley Parade.

Upon completing the deal, Nevers told Bradford's official website that he arrives in a 'stronger position' after spending the first half of the season competing in the division.

He said: “I am happy and excited to be here, and am grateful for the opportunity. I have had a great welcome already, and cannot wait to get going. The manager has told me he believes in me and likes what he sees. I want to force my way into the team and stay there to help us achieve our goals.

“This is an ambitious club with high expectations, so I am looking forward to coming here and playing for what I represent, which is the badge and the supporters. I have experience at this level already which was a challenge, but I learned a lot and feel I am in a stronger position - technically, tactically, and mentally.

“I like to bring flair and entertainment, and am looking forward to getting my head down, getting straight to business, and battling for promotion.”
