The 6ft 6in 22-year-old came through the Toffees' academy and made three first-team appearances before being released at the end of last season.
He could make his competitive debut for the Bantams in Saturday's Carabao Cup first-round tie against Rochdale.
"We believe he has the potential to be a top player, and we will work hard with him to fulfil it," boss Graham Alexander told the club website.

Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai says he has "cleared" the situation with team-mates Curtis Jones and Kostas Tsimikas after a video emerged last week showing the trio seemingly arguing over the captain's armband.
The incident came after the 1-0 pre-season win against Wrexham at Yankee Stadium in New York.
Following the full-time whistle Jones, Szoboszlai and later Tsimikas argued with each other as the team walked across the pitch to applaud supporters.
During the match Szoboszlai gave the captain's armband to Tsimikas rather than Jones when he was subbed off, and during the argument the Greece left-back was filmed throwing it to the floor.
In the 4-2 defeat by Leeds on Sunday, Szoboszlai gave the armband to Jones.

A rare photo of Princess Beatrice and husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi together appeared to send a clear message amid ongoing marriage rumors, but it may not have had the intended effect.
The duo was seen cozying up with art curator Aliki Lampropoulos while on a trip to Athens, Greece, celebrating their sixth wedding anniversary in July. It was an opportunity for the couple to spend time together since Mozzi's schedule keeps him on the road and away from Beatrice and their children, Sienna Elizabeth, 3, and Athena Elizabeth Rose, 1, quite often. He also shares son Christopher Woolf, 10, with ex-girlfriend Dara Huang.

Roma recently welcomed its tenth Greek player: defender Konstantinos Koulierakis. Will he unleash his inner Manolas, or are we in for another Greek Tragedy like Tsimikas? Let's take a look at his predecessors in the Eternal City.
Ah, Greece. Sun, sea, hundreds of islands, friendly people, sirtaki, great olive oil, ouzo, pita, lamb dishes. I'm not gonna lie, Greece is my second favorite country in Europe, after, of course, Italy. So many uncharted territories, so many jewels scattered across the Mediterranean Sea, waiting to be explored.
Anyway, let's talk football. Greece has generated some excellent players over the years. Take their Euro 2004 squad: Charisteas, Zagorakis, Nikopolidis, Basinas, Seitaridis, Papadopoulos. They weren't superstars, but they were reliable and skilled players. The team was compact, resilient, and tough, winning against Portugal and France and drawing with Spain in 2004.
More recently, Greece has produced well-known names, including Odysseas Vlachodimos, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Anastasios Douvikas, and Vangelis Pavlidis, as well as promising young talents such as Christos Mandas, Christos Tzolis, and Konstantinos Karetsas.
And there is also Konstantinos Koulierakis: a tall, athletic center-back who just joined Roma from Wolfsburg and has already been capped 22 times by the Greek National Team.

Port Vale have signed striker Tyreece Simpson on a one-year deal.
Simpson, 24, was available on a free transfer after he left League One side Stevenage at the end of last season - and he has agreed to drop into League Two with the Valiants, who were relegated from the third tier in April.
St Kitts and Nevis international Simpson is an Ipswich Town academy product but has, since leaving Portman Road, had permanent spells with Huddersfield Town and Stevenage as well as loan spells at Swindon Town, Northampton Town and Colchester United.
He missed all of last term injured, having suffered a ruptured Achilles in pre-season, as Stevenage reached the League One play-offs and he was among seven senior players to leave the club at the end of their contracts.
Vale have made him their eighth signing of a busy summer, having already recruited Lewis Montsma, Jasper Moon, Max Watters, Aaron McGowan, Kyle Dempsey, Matthew Craig and Jackson Smith.

Borussia Dortmund on Monday announced the signing of teenage Greek forward Konstantinos Karetsas from Belgian side Genk on a five-year deal, for a reported fee of 30 million euros ($34 million) plus bonuses.
The 18-year-old, who already has three goals in 10 appearances for Greece, laid on 11 ****** ists in the Belgian top flight last season.
Dortmund were looking for more creativity after the departure of the long-serving Julian Brandt, who left on a free transfer.
"Borussia Dortmund is a special club and I am incredibly proud to now be able to wear the black and yellow jersey," Karetsas said in a statement.
Sporting director Ole Book said: "(Karetsas) will enrich our team with his creativity and intelligence. He is technically very skilled and possesses the ability to find quick solutions in tight ****** es, especially in the final third."

New ***** nal signing Christos Tzolis has boldly declared the reigning Premier League champions are fully prepared to defend their crown, insisting that the "pressure" now rests squarely on their rivals to prevent them from securing back-to-back ***** les.
The Greece international, who joined the Gunners in a £34 million move from Club Brugge, marked his debut with a goal in Saturday's 4-1 victory over Girona.
Despite significant interest in Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior and Newcastle's Bruno Guimaraes – with the latter potentially nearing a switch to the Emirates Stadium this week – Tzolis remains the club's sole outfield acquisition of the summer so far.
Arsenal face some early season challenges, with key defender William Saliba set to miss the start of the campaign due to a back injury. Fitness doubts also linger over Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka following their interrupted World Cup commitments with England.
However, when questioned about ***** nal's readiness to defend their first ***** le in 22 years, Tzolis was unequivocal.

Well folks, it's that time again. August is here and so begins ******* nal's slate of preseason matches. Today, the Gunners face Girona to cap off a week of training in Spain. They take on Real Betis (and Hector Bellerin) in Dublin on Wednesday, August 5th, Dortmund next Sunday in the Emirates Cup, and Como on August 12th before the Community Shield on August 16th. The Premier League season kicks off in less than three weeks — the 21st home to newly promoted Coventry.
Arsenal – Kepa, White, Mosquera, Hincapie, Calafiori, Lewis-Skelly, Havertz, Nwaneri, Dowman, Tzolis, Gyokeres
Everyone should be prepared to overreact wildly to a lineup several players off the first XI. Because that's what you do in the preseason, after all. None of Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Magalhaes, Martin Ødegaard, Declan Rice, Ebere Eze, Bukayo Saka, Noni Madueke, David Raya, Mikel Merino, Martin Zubimendi, nor William Saliba are in today's squad.
The Brazilians rejoined the team in the last day or two. Gabriel Martinelli got married a few days ago in Greece but is back with the squad. Martin Ødegaard is due back next week. The England players after that and the Spanish contingent last of all. William Saliba will miss a fair bit of time recovering from the back injury he played through at the end of the season and during the World Cup.
The Gunners are also expected to do a fair bit of business before the start of the season. A move for Bruno Guimaraes seems close. The rumors are swirling around a massive move for Vini Jr. The club intends to sign a CB to cover during Saliba's absence. They may also sign a right back — Jurrien Timber is still recovering from the groin problem that kept him out of the World Cup.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — David Bailey is already making his presence felt only three training camp practices into his NFL career.
Just ask the edge rusher's impressed New York Jets teammates and coaches.
"I see him in the backfield all the time," defensive tackle Harrison Phillips said with a laugh Saturday. "I mean, oh my gosh."
The No. 2 overall pick out of Texas Tech in April is off to a fast start this summer. During the Jets' second practice of camp on Thursday, he was credited with three "sacks" — there's no contact on quarterbacks, of course — with one during which he bull-rushed right tackle Armand Membou and buzzed past running back Breece Hall to get to Geno Smith.
"Oh, he's gonna be phenomenal," defensive lineman Kingsley Enagbare gushed. "He's going to have a long, long career. The sky's the limit for that dude. He can literally do it all: He can stop the run, he can rush the passer."

Could the Royals have had a much better final week of pre-season? It's hard to think so. Following victories against Woking last Saturday (0-2), Newport County on Tuesday (0-4) and Crawley Town on Friday (0-1), Reading made it four clean-sheet wins in four on Saturday afternoon by seeing off Charlton Athletic 0-3 at The Valley.
Lewis Wing was the star man, beginning and ending the scoring with a pair of excellent strikes. Perhaps Boyd Beacroft's halfway-line lob over the 'keeper at Crawley inspired Wing to go one better?
Either way, this was Wing at his very best. He gave the Royals the lead just before half-time when he slammed in a free-kick, later making absolutely certain of the result by curling the ball beautifully into the far top corner after getting a shot corner back from David Hicks.
Reece Evans will be having words about which goal was the highlight of the afternoon though. He opened his account for the first team to make it 2-0 in the second half, heading the ball powerfully past the 'keeper at the end of an incisive, fluent counter-attack. Hicks played a neat pass down the right and into the area for Kyreece Lisbie, who checked back onto his left foot and crossed cutely for Evans.
Even outside those goals though – and stop me if you've read this before about Reading's 2026 pre-season friendlies – the Royals looked confident and well structured. Inventive, energetic and dynamic, this was a display that simply wouldn't have happened last season.

ATHENS/MADRID, July 31 (Reuters) - Greece battled wildfires on Friday on multiple fronts, from the outskirts of Athens to the central part of the country and on the island of Crete, while France and Spain won some respite after bringing major blazes under control.
Europe has been ravaged by wildfires ‌this summer after successive record-breaking heatwaves, leaving vast stretches of drought-parched vegetation primed to burn, and forcing hundreds of thousands of people to flee their homes.
Residents of two communities ‌west of Athens were advised to evacuate as a precaution as smoke billowed from densely wooded hills surrounding the Greek capital, with authorities scrambling a formation of water-bombing aircraft to extinguish the blaze.
In Boeotia, north-west of Athens, hundreds of residents and visitors were evacuated from a small coastal community aboard coast guard boats and fishing vessels as thick orange smoke blanketed the area.

Kimberly Guilfoyle's latest diplomatic stop is drawing attention for what she wore, not what she said.
The 57-year-old U.S. ambassador to Greece visited the Ormylia Monastery in Halkidiki on Thursday, July 30, according to a report from Greek City Times.
For the visit, she wore a fitted turquoise knee-length dress with a plunging neckline and pointed-toe stilettos. In a photo taken with a group of monks and nuns, who were covered from head to toe except for their faces and hands, Guilfoyle's outfit stood in stark contrast to the monastery's modest dress standards, making her appear notably underdressed.

"I was deeply moved to visit the Ormylia Foundation and Monastery this week," Guilfoyle said, per the outlet. "I met with their dedicated volunteers, including Abbot Elisaios, Dr. Doumas, Brother Charlie, and the remarkable Reverend Mother Nikodimi and her sisters. Their work healing bodies through the Medical Center's life-saving screenings and nurturing souls through faith is a beautiful example of compassion in action. I am grateful for the partnership between the United States and this extraordinary community."

CLEVELAND (AP) — Forward Mario Hezonja will return to the NBA for the first time in six years after signing a one-year contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Hezonja has played the last four years for Real Madrid and was the Spanish League MVP after averaging 13.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.4 ****** ists this past season.
The 31-year-old from Croatia was the fifth overall pick by Orlando in the 2015 NBA draft and played five seasons for the Magic, New York Knicks and Portland Trail Blazers. He averaged 6.9 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.3 ****** ists.
Hezonja also played in the EuroLeague for Panathinaikos in Greece and Russia's UNICS Kazan.
Cleveland — which advanced to the Eastern Conference finals last season for the first time in 2018 — had a need for depth in the front court after the departures of Dean Wade and Keon Ellis during free agency.

The Scottish champions are weighing up the prospect of re-signing the left-back only 12 months after he left the Hoops at the expiry of his contract.
Taylor's spell with PAOK has failed to fully take off and, following the arrival of new head coach Alessio Lisci, he is no longer believed to feature prominently in the club's plans.
According to reports in Greece via Daily Record, "significant developments" surrounding the 28-year-old are expected shortly as interest in his services grows.
Celtic remain among the clubs monitoring the situation, although they are reportedly facing competition from teams in both the English Championship and Major League Soccer.

Greece have called up the brother of Australia batter Sam Konstas to their national cricket team as they prepare to make a surprise bid to qualify for the 2028 men's T20 World Cup.
It is understood Billy Konstas, four years older than Sam at 24, has been included in Greece's 14-man squad for a European qualifying event in Finland from 14 to 21 August.
Sam made his Test debut for Australia at the age of 19 against India in the Boxing Day Test in 2024, memorably ramping Jasprit ***** rah three times in one over.
Billy plays grade cricket in Sydney alongside his day job where he combines cricket coaching with physiotherapy.
The elder Konstas is joined in the squad by another Greek-Aussie in 21-year-old leg-spinning all-rounder Blake Faunce, who played representative age-group cricket for Australian Capital Territory.

When the New York Jets acquired Geno Smith this offseason, the conversation immediately shifted to the quarterback. Would they get the version who revitalized his career in Seattle Seahawks? Or would they inherit the one who struggled with turnovers during his lone season with the Las Vegas Raiders?
Those are fair questions. They just may not be the most important ones. As training camp opens, the Jets' ceiling on offense could depend less on which version of Smith takes the field and more on how offensive coordinator Frank Reich builds the offensive attack around him.
Quarterbacks often receive the credit when an offense succeeds and the blame when it doesn't. While that's part of playing the position, football has repeatedly shown that coaching, scheme and supporting talent can dramatically influence a quarterback's production.
So, here's where Reich enters the picture. The veteran coach inherits an offense featuring an experienced quarterback, a dynamic running back in Breece Hall, an emerging No. 1 receiver in Garrett Wilson and a pair of intriguing young tight ends in Kenyon Sadiq and Mason Taylor. The offensive line also appears more stable than it has in recent years, giving Reich more flexibility than many first-year coordinators enjoy.
The challenge isn't **** embling talent. It's finding the best way to maximize it.

Walsall have made their 10th signing of the summer transfer window with the arrival of Harrogate Town winger Reece Smith on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee.
The 24-year-old featured in all but one of Harrogate's League Two games last term, having joined from non-league Maidenhead United where he came through the academy and spent four and a half seasons in the first team.
Smith, who played in Harrogate's 2-0 win at the Pallet-Track Stadium in the penultimate game of last season, said his move to Walsall felt like "a big step up" and added boss Lee Grant's plan to use him on the left or as a number 10 was "music to my ears".
Grant, who is putting the finishing touches to his first pre-season at the club having taken charge in May, described the deal for Smith as "another coup" for the Saddlers having been keen to sign him for "a very long time".
Walsall begin the new campaign in the Carabao Cup at Bristol City on 6 August before opening their League Two programme away to Gillingham the following Saturday.

Giannis was traded to join Adebayo's Heat this summer, teaming up with two players who had been conference rivals for years.
With Adebayo and Antetokounmpo focused on being on the same page after years of an on-court rivalry, Antetokounmpo had the perfect vacation idea for the pair.
As Antetokounmpo went to the Heat's practice facility, he met Adebayo mid-workout as Giannis suggested Bam come with him to vacation in Greece, where they can work out together.
"Come to Greece.. Come to Greece with your wife. Your wife, sorry. I don't know if you're married."

Chelsea will kick off their pre-season schedule on Tuesday with a clash against Australia's Western Sydney Wanderers at the Accor Stadium.
This match signals the start of a new chapter for the club, as Xabi Alonso officially takes charge as head coach. The Blues are effectively starting from scratch after a disappointing 2025/26 Premier League campaign, which saw them finish 10th. With no pre-season matches played so far, Chelsea head into this fixture short on match fitness and overall rhythm, making their Australian opener a challenging starting point.
The squad travelling to Australia is far from full strength, with several important players unavailable.
A number of key names are still recovering after international duty, including Reece James, Trevoh Chalobah, Pedro Neto, and Enzo Fernández, all of whom featured in the latter stages of the World Cup.
In addition, summer signings Emmanuel Emegha and Geovany Quenda have remained in London as they deal with minor injury concerns.

The New York Jets have heard plenty of skepticism this offseason. Apparently, there was room for a little more.
CBS Sports recently released its annual rankings of every NFL team's offensive "triplets" (quarterback, running back, and primary pass catcher). It didn't take long for the disrespect to flow.
The Jets landed 29th overall. Only the Tennessee **** ans, the Miami Dolphins, and the Cleveland Browns were ranked lower, placing New York firmly in the bottom tier despite an offseason that brought meaningful changes to the offense.
The ranking featured discussion about Geno Smith at quarterback, Breece Hall at running back, and Garrett Wilson as the Jets' featured receiver. According to CBS Sports, much of the skepticism stems from Smith's disappointing 2025 campaign with the Las Vegas Raiders.
"The Jets fell six spots here despite replacing Justin Fields with Geno Smith. It feels like they're being punished for Smith's awful season in Las Vegas, which unfolded under horrendous circumstances in arguably the NFL's worst offensive environment. (Tennessee is the only team that has an argument for being worse.) Smith is also getting up there in age, though, so it's possible that he's just on the downslide of his career and will never get back what he had for a few years in Seattle. The Jets and the next three teams on the list were separated by a total of 0.2 points in the rankings."

Christos Tzolis signed a five-year contract at **** nal after completing his €40 million transfer from Club Brugge. The Greece international was a 2. Bundesliga top-scorer during his time at Fortuna Düsseldorf.
After an initial loan deal from Norwich City, Düsseldorf permanently signed the player for €3.5 million. However, their failure to win promotion to Bundesliga meant that they had to sell him for only €6.5 million to Club Brugge.
Tzolis scored 24 goals and **** isted a further 10 in only 37 games for Fortuna Düsseldorf. He continued his goal-scoring form with Club Brugge in the past two seasons, winning the “Player of the Season” accolade in the Jupiler Pro League last term.
According to Sky, Fortuna Düsseldorf will not receive any payment from the transfer. Die Fortunen will compete in 3. Liga for the first time since 2009 as they suffered a costly relegation from 2. Bundesliga only a couple of years after Tzolis nearly helped them to a Bundesliga return.
In addition to his league-high 22 goals, Tzolis scored a memorable panenka to send Düsseldorf to the 2023/24 semi-final of the DFB-Pokal in the penalty shootout win over St. Pauli. **** nal are also exploring the deal to sign RB Leipzig sensation Yan Diomande, although PSG lead the race as of right now.
