HULL FC’S Ed Chamberlain has made a season-long loan move to Bradford Bulls.
The 29-year-old can feature in a number of positions including centre and back-row, and previously had a seven-game loan spell at the Bulls in 2017.
He was at Widnes Vikings then, and went on to play for Salford Red Devils before a successful stint at Leigh Leopards which included 1895 Cup, Championship and Challenge Cup glory.
The Ireland international joined Hull midway through the 2024 season, initially on loan before a permanent switch, and has been allowed to depart despite playing 20 times this year.
Chamberlain said: “A new challenge gives you a chance to prove yourself and show what you want to be as a player.
“I don’t know what it will be for me but whatever position I end up playing in I’ll do my best each and every week.
“It’s a big moment for the club, there is a massive buzz around the place and there’s big excitement around Super League having Bradford back in the competition but everyone is raring to go and everyone is ripping in.
“I just want to make sure I am playing consistently. Whatever position I get put in. I’ll do my best.
“Hopefully I’m in the squad for the full year and whatever goals we set as a club that’s what we’ll stick to, I just want to be consistent week on week.”
Bradford coach Kurt Haggerty said: “He can play centre, back row and I’m also comfortable putting him in the middle of the field because he’s tough.
“He’s competent and he has got high skill levels, so he will certainly add value and versatility to the team.
“We did a lot of homework on Ed and a lot of the people we spoke to said he’s a first-class human being and a fantastic professional, so all those traits will help our young lads develop in and around the environment.”
