Millwall set to sign Fulham full-back Joe Bryan

Millwall are set to complete the signing of Fulham full-back Joe Bryan on a free transfer.

The 29-year-old defender is out of contract with the west London club on July 1.

Bryan is undergoing medical examinations today and other formalities are also being completed.

The Lions are expected to announce his signing tomorrow.

Bryan ensured his place in Fulham folklore with both goals – including an outrageous free-kick – when they beat rivals Brentford in the 2020 Championship play-off final at Wembley.

He went on loan to Nice in 2022.

Bristol City were also interested in bringing Bryan back for a second spell but manager Nigel Pearson claimed recently that the player had reservations about a return to his hometown club.

Millwall had made adding a left-sided defender a priority this summer with Scott Malone released at the end of last season.

Bryan is one appearance shy of 200 in the Championship. He has scored one goal in 44 Premier League appearances.

He is set to become the Lions’ second addition of the window after the capture of Hibernian centre-forward Kevin Nisbet.
