Bradford have announced their latest recruit in the shape of New Zealand-born three-quarter Chris Ulugia.

Ulugia, 22, has put pen to paper on a two-year deal and joins forwards Dave Petersen and Karl Davies in moving to the Bulls from Queensland Intrust Super Cup side Mackay Cutters.

He said: This is a huge opportunity for me and I am delighted to be joining what is one of the most famous rugby league clubs on the planet.

“I cannot wait to arrive in England and get pre-season training underway, alongside some of my current team-mates.

“I used to play with Jake Mullaney, so I know him too. That will certainly help with the transition, in terms of getting used to the place and what not.

“I am aware of the club’s aims for next year and I can assure the Bradford supporters that my eyes are solely fixed on helping the Bulls achieve promotion back up into Super League.”

Coach James Lowes added: “Chris is a great signing, coming from a club which boasts a fantastic pool of talent.

“This is a great opportunity for Chris and, having spoken to him, I know how determined he is to hit the ground running.

 

“Chris is another addition to an already blossoming squad and is a player whose pace and power will certainly prove beneficial next year.”
