Worrincy joins Bulls

Thursday 25th September 08

Bradford Bulls have signed back-rower Michael Worrincy on a two-year contract from engage Super League rivals Harlequins Rugby League.

Worrincy, who is originally from Leeds, scored eight tries in just 16 games for the Quins and is looking forward to joining the Bulls.

He said: “Bradford's a great club and environment for me to develop and I'm really looking forward to getting up there and making a mark.

“I've heard a lot about Steve McNamara as a coach and it will be great to have someone to get the best out of me.

“It's been good in London. I came back down after a loan spell at Hull and have played plenty of first team rugby recently - but there's an opportunity to win silverware with the Bulls and I can't wait to return north."

Bulls boss Steve McNamara believes he has captured one of Super League's quickest forwards and a player with genuine talent.

He explained: "Mike's probably the fastest back-rower in the competition. He has some sensational speed but is also a very powerful athlete standing at 6ft 2in.

“He scores tries, is a great support player and very knowledgeable about Rugby League.

“Being young, quick, explosive and English, he is just what we need and has the potential - like Rikki Sheriffe - to go on and play internationally."
