Bradford have signed defender Nathaniel Knight-Percival on a free transfer from Sky Bet League 1 rivals Shrewsbury.
Knight-Percival, 29, was offered a new deal by Shrewsbury with his contract set to expire this summer but has opted instead to sign a two-year deal at Valley Parade.
"The Bantams have moved to further strengthen their defensive options by signing centre-half Nathaniel Knight-Percival on a free transfer," City confirmed on their official website.
"After completing his medical at City's Apperley Bridge training ground, Knight-Percival put pen to paper on a two-year deal this Friday to become City manager Stuart McCall's second signing of the summer."
Knight-Percival captained Shrewsbury during the second half of last season and scored five goals in 41 appearances.
The left-sided centre-half started out at non-league Histon and joined Wrexham in the summer of 2010 before joining Peterborough in May 2012.
He spent two seasons with Posh, one of them in the Championship, and made 56 appearances in total before moving on to Shrewsbury following his release in May 2014.
Knight-Percival is Bradford boss McCall's second summer signing following the arrival of Nicky Law.
