LACHLAN Burr has been confirmed as the ninth player from the old Bradford Bulls club to leave Odsal, having signed for Leigh. 

The 24-year-old former Canterbury Bulldogs and Gold Coast Titans forward has signed a 12-month contract with a further two-year option with the Centurions.

Burr joined the Bulls in October, linking up with his old Titans coach Rohan Smith, but was made redundant when the club went into liquidation earlier this month.

Leigh owner Derek Beaumont said: "It is a difficult situation for Lachlan having made the journey across only to have experienced the difficulties encountered at the Bulls.

"He has a lot of respect for Rohan, which is why he joined Bradford, so once that relationship had no future there he became available to interested parties.

"It is a difficult time for Bradford and I am genuinely pleased they have a future, but as other clubs have done we had to seize the opportunity that was presented to us."

Centurions coach Neil Jukes said: "It's been a long, tough process to get Lachlan finally over the line, especially given the interest he had received following his exit from Bradford.

"I've made no secret we were in the market for one more player to bolster our pack but it was always about holding our nerve until the right player came along.

"I'm now delighted that Lachlan is that last piece of the jigsaw we sought in that department."
