"I am buzzing to be here and I am hungry to get out on the pitch in front of the amazing fans and show what I can do," he told the Bradford website.
"After last season and seeing the scenes here, it made me hungry to sign for the club to try and replicate it."
Neufville is the fourth player to sign for Bradford, who won automatic promotion to the third tier with a final-day victory over Fleetwood, this summer following Max Power, Curtis Tilt and Joe Wright.

Bolton sign forward Dalby after Wrexham exit
Sam Dalby helped Wrexham win successive promotions from the National League to League One [Getty Images] Bolton Wanderers have signed forward Sam Dalby on a four-year contract following his departure from Wrexham. The 25-year-old scored 15 goals on loan for Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership last season as the Tannadice club qualified for the European Conference League. Advertisement Dalby was offered a new contract by Wrexham in January but rejected the offer and became a free agent at the end of his loan north of the border. "He is a player whose progress we have monitored closely, and to bring him to the club, especially considering the strong interest from elsewhere, is a fantastic piece of business for us," Wanderers boss Steven Schumacher told the club website. The forward is Bolton's first summer signing as they look to improve on last season's eighth-placed finish in League One, 10 points short of the play-off places.

How to watch League One play-off final: TV channel and live stream for Charlton vs Leyton Orient today
The League One promotion play-offs will be decided by an all-London tie, with Charlton and Leyton Orient set to face off at Wembley Stadium. It has been an up-and-down season for Charlton under Nathan Jones. They sat 12th at Christmas but have rallied in 2025, winning 16 of 24 League ties as they narrowly missed out on automatic promotion. Advertisement Orient, chasing a first return to the second tier since 1995, have been similarly resurgent of late, ending the season on a run of six wins to pip Reading to a playoff spot. They required penalties to beat Stockport in the semi-final, but Tottenham loanee Josh Keeley was the hero between the sticks, making a crucial save. For Charlton, an opportunity presents itself for the club to end a five-year stay in the third tier. They were relegated from the Championship in 2020, immediately after being promoted the previous season. Their play-off semi-final was a nervy one. The Addicks drew 0-0 with Wycombe Wanderers in the first leg, before Matt Godden left it to the 81st minute of the second to score the winner. Charlton will vie for promotion in front of a sympathetic Wembley crowd after selling out their initial 36,945 ticket allocation in just 40 minutes. How to watch League One play-off final TV channel: In the UK, Charlton vs Leyton Orient is being shown live on Sky Sports Football.

The former Brighton & Hove Albion man becomes the Chairboys' first new arrival of the season, and joins the Adams Park side on a free transfer. Advertisement He had been offered a new deal to stay at the original Dons following their promotion back to League One last season, but opted for a new challenge. Tilley was officially announced as a Wycombe player in the late hours of June 13. Speaking to the Wanderers media team, head coach Mike Dodds said: 'We're really pleased to welcome James to the club and we're looking forward to working with him. 'He's a talented player who had a great upbringing in Brighton's academy and has developed his game year on year in senior football. 'He's someone who offers us another threat in attack on either side of the pitch and comes to us off the back of a hugely successful season, both collectively with his club and also for him personally. Advertisement 'We hope he carries that momentum into this next step of his career at Wycombe and I'm sure the fans will be excited to see him pull on the shirt and show what he can do.' Tilley played 53 times in all competitions for the South West London-based side last season, which included playing the full 90 minutes in Wimbledon's 1-0 victory against Walsall in the League Two play-off final at Wembley Stadium last month. This ended their three-year stint in the fourth tier of English football. The Chairboys have been long-time admirers of the midfielder, with links going back as far as the summer of 2019, when he was on the books at Brighton & Hove Albion. Advertisement Now, six years later, Wycombe have finally got their man. Following his departure from Wimbledon, the club said: 'We can confirm James Tilley has signed for Wycombe Wanderers after rejecting our offer of a new contract. 'Everyone at Wimbledon would like to thank James for his role in our promotion and overall contributions. 'We wish him well for the future.' In total, he played three competitive first-team games, scoring once, whilst also enjoying two loan spells away at Cork City and Yeovil Town, respectively. He eventually left Brighton in January 2020 for Grimsby Town, spending 12 months in Lincolnshire before signing for Crawley Town. A move to Wimbledon followed in the summer of 2023, where he played 101 times and scored 17 goals.
