Bradford boss Mark Hughes wants to make in-demand Barnsley striker George Miller his first signing
MARK HUGHES is weighing up a move for Barnsley's George Miller on a free transfer.

Miller, who is out of contract this summer, spent last season on loan in League Two with Walsall, scoring 12 league goals in 41 appearances.
The forward, who has had two temporary spells at fourth tier Bradford, has also attracted interest from Stockport.
