Bradford May Get Bonus If Wells Team Promoted
There is a promotion clause in the deal that saw Nahki Wells move to Huddersfield from Bradford City, according to a story in the Telegraph & Argus, which said it is “believed the Bantams would net a further £250,000 [$322,200] should Town go up to the Premier League.
The story said “City are in line for a hefty windfall if Huddersfield get promoted. The T&A understands that there is a promotion clause in the deal that took Nahki Wells across the M62 three years ago.
“It is believed the Bantams would net a further £250,000 should Town go up to the Premier League.
“Wells left City in January 2014 in a move that was worth an initial £1.3m. But with goal and appearance bonuses written in, they have received a further £325,000 in add-ons since.
“His former club will also receive a percentage of the profit on any future transfer fee from Huddersfield.
“The 26-year-old, a City play-off hero four years ago, has scored ten this season for David Wagner’s side but only once in the last three months.
“A promotion payment from the neighbours would be a tidy bonus for the Bantams as they prepare to cash in on a possible return to the Championship for the first time since 2004.”
