BRADFORD BULLS have signed Warrington Wolves forward Dan Russell on a one-year deal.

The 6ft 4in back-rower, who can also play in the centres, spent seven years in the Queensland and NSW Cup competitions in Australia before making his NRL debut for St George Illawarra Dragons in 2023.

The Papua New Guinea imternational’s form for club and country saw him secure a move to Sam Burgess’ Warrington Wolves ahead of the 2025 season.

Russell made 19 Super League appearances this year, although nine of those came for Salford Red Devils – where new Bradford coach Kurt Haggerty was assistant boss – during a loan spell.

He said of joining the newly-promoted Bulls: “I am super excited – it’s going to be a challenge in the first year but it’s a challenge I am looking forward to with the players and staff that have been put together.

“From watching the Bulls in the Championship they already had a good side who played good footy and after seeing them get promoted, I wanted to stay in Super League and being given the chance to work with Kurt again and the players he’s brought in made it an easy decision.

“I’m looking to bring some experience and versatility to the team in Super League, I can play back row and other positions. I just want to be a real team player and cover where I can.

”We have a great group for the first year back which can make it a really special year.”
