The New Saints sign Adam Wilson on loan from Bradford City

The New Saints are delighted to announce the return of Adam Wilson, as the winger makes the move back to Park Hall on loan from Bradford City.

Wilson initially joined the club in September 2022, having previously risen through the ranks of Newcastle United’s academy, where he made 61 appearances for the Magpies.

During his first spell at Park Hall, the 24-year-old impressed with some outstanding performances. He made 22 appearances in his one season at the club, finding the net on seven occasions as the club picked up the JD Cymru Premier title, and was also voted Supporters’ Player of the Season.

His form earned him a move to EFL League Two club, Bradford City, for whom he made 16 appearances in all competitions. The exciting attacking winger opened his Bradford account in memorable fashion, scoring a late equaliser in a 1-1 draw at home against Wrexham last season.

Wilson will join up with The Saints’ squad who kicked-off their defence of the league title with a commanding 4-1 victory over Flint Town last Friday evening. He could make his second debut in the crucial UEFA Conference League play-off first leg tie with FK Panevėžys this Thursday evening.

Speaking on Wilson’s arrival, Head Coach, Craig Harrison said:

“I’m delighted to bring Adam Wilson back to the football club. I have a really good relationship with Adam and we have kept in contact since his move to Bradford last season.

“Unfortunately, due to a managerial change and style of play, Adam has found himself not playing as much as he wanted to, which has given us the opportunity to bring him back to Park Hall on loan.

“It strengthens our squad, as we have picked up three or four injuries over our last six games in Europe, and it gives Adam the chance to get more match minutes.

“It’s another great addition to a very strong squad and keeps competition for places very high.”

Following his return to Park Hall, Adam Wilson said:

“I thoroughly enjoyed my time at TNS a couple of seasons ago, so it’s great to be rejoining the club on loan again. The boys are on the brink of making history, so it’s an exciting time to be involved and I hope I can make the difference in the upcoming matches.

“I loved playing under Craig and the coaching staff previously, so I am looking forward to working with them this season and contributing to the team as much as possible.”
