BRADFORD Bulls new signing Epalahame Lauaki was unveiled to supporters last night as the club announced their squad numbers for the new campaign.

The front-rower was presented with his No 31 shirt after making a quick dash from the airport, having just flown in from Australia. His arrival in this country had been delayed by visa issues.

There were no real surprises in the numbers handed out by head coach Jimmy Lowes, with Danny Addy claiming the number 13, putting him in line to be the first-choice in his preferred loose forward position.

Captain Chev Walker opted for the No 22 jersey to mark his son's birthday, while there is a brand-new six and seven pairing of Lee Gaskell and the incoming Harry Siejka.

Lowes said:  “We have put together an exciting squad, with plenty of depth and competition for places. 

“The new season is just around the corner now and everyone is looking forward to getting started.

“The boys will wear their numbers with pride, play for the badge and give everything in what will be a very important campaign for the club.”
