CHRIS Ulugia has become the Bulls’ latest new recruit after agreeing a two-year deal from Queensland Intrust Super Cup side Mackay Cutters.

The 22-year-old, who can operate at centre, full-back and on the wing, is the ninth new addition to Jimmy Lowes' squad for 2015.

The former Parramatta junior joins forwards Dave Petersen and Karl Davies in arriving from the Cutters.

“This is a huge opportunity for me and I’m delighted to be joining what is one of the most famous rugby league clubs on the planet,” said the New Zealand-born player.

“I cannot wait to arrive in England and get pre-season training underway, alongside some of my current team-mates.

“I used to play with Jake Mullaney, so I know him too. That will certainly help with the transition, in terms of getting used to the place and what not.

“I am aware of the club's aims for next year and I can assure the Bradford supporters that my eyes are solely fixed on helping the Bulls achieve promotion back up into Super League.”

Lowes now has 24 players contracted to his squad for next season and a handful of signings are expected at tomorrow’s ‘An Evening with the Bulls’ event at Odsal.

The Bulls head coach said of Ulugia: “Chris is a great signing, coming from a club which boasts a fantastic pool of talent.

“This is a great opportunity for Chris and, having spoken to him, I know how determined he is to hit the ground running.

“Chris is another addition to an already blossoming squad and is a player whose pace and power will certainly prove beneficial next year.”

Ulugia is due to arrive in the UK early next month prior to the start of pre-season training.
