| Place of birth | Sheffield |
| Nationality | English |
| Weight | 88 kg |
| Height | 1.91 m |
| Position | Defender/Centre back |
Wetherall began 2000-01 as a regular in the heart of the Bradford City defence but had the misfortune to suffer a groin injury in November that required corrective surgery and it was not until the end of February that he returned to the Bantams' line-up.
However, he then suffered a further groin problem that kept him out of the last eight games of the campaign.
One of the club's most consistent players over the previous two seasons, he was sorely missed when he was out injured.
A dominant centre half, his distribution was outstanding and his height proved useful when joining the attack at set pieces.
Wetherall's contract at Bradford City was extended to June 2008 in October 2004, then to June 2008 in October 2006.
