Departing Shrewsbury Town captain Nathaniel Knight-Percival to join Bradford
Shrewsbury Town captain Nathaniel Knight-Percival is today set to sign for League One rivals Bradford City.
The 29-year-old is due to undergo a medical at Valley Parade after agreeing a two-year deal.
He rejected offers from Southend, Bury and Gillingham in favour of moving to West Yorkshire.
Knight-Percival, whose contract had expired, rejected a new deal at the Greenhous Meadow.
His departure became clear after he failed to re-appear for the start of pre-season training eight days ago.
The former Wrexham and Histon centre back made 77 appearances for Town and scored six goals after joining on a free transfer from Peterborough two years ago.
Nicknamed 'Rolls Royce' for his assured performances, his exit will be seen as a big blow to Town fans after he emerged as a solid leader.
