The area feels like a bit of Ireland and this is a place I can see myself settling down in. People go on about the fanbase here, but it’s such a special group and they make us feel so welcome. “It’s nice to be back and see them every Sunday.” Bradley is Durham’s second signing of the summer transfer window.
