Bradford have signed Huddersfield prop Anthony Mullally on a month’s loan.

Mullally, 22, could make his Bulls debut in Thursday’s televised clash at Wakefield.

The former Widnes forward featured in the World Cup for Ireland last autumn.

He said: “This is a big opportunity for me, I cannot wait to get out there.

“I want to have a big season and nothing has changed on that front for me. I want to make my presence known here.

“I am hoping to get a chance on Thursday evening and, from there, should I feature, I will be fully focused on maintaing my place in the line-up.

“If I can impress and play well, hopefully I will be able to play a fairly key role over the next few weeks.”

Mullally started training with the Bulls on Tuesday.

Coach Francis Cummins said: “”We are really pleased to have Anthony here and I am looking forward to seeing what he comes up with over the course of the next four weeks.

“He is a player that we as a club have been monitoring for some time now.”
