Harry Ibbitson (born 18 December 2005) is an English professional footballer who plays for Bradford City, as a striker.[1]
Career
[edit]Ibbitson began his career with Bradford City, and was their first ever player to move from the Development Programme to the Academy in 2021.[2] At the end of the 2023–24 season, after a prolific campaign for the under-18s, he was close to joining the first-team squad, but did not due to illness.[3] He was also linked with a transfer away from the club at that time.[4][5] He turned professional in May 2024.[6]
In September 2024, he moved on loan to Kidderminster Harriers for six weeks.[7][8] After his return to Bradford, Ibbitson's character was praised by manager Graham Alexander following the loan experience.[9]
