CONJECTURE continues to surround the future of Danny Addy but there is more to his life than just rugby league now.

The Bulls star became a father for the first time last week after his partner Demi Godson gave birth to Oliver Richard.

Oliver’s arrival marked a momentous chapter in Addy’s life and came less than 48 hours before the win at Sheffield.

“It was an unbelievably proud moment and I filled up a bit when Oliver arrived,” said Addy.

“He was born at Pontefract Hospital at 11.56pm last Wednesday night and seeing his little head pop out was an amazing experience.

“It was a hectic week and I couldn’t do the team run before the Sheffield game because I had to pick my missus and baby up from the hospital in the morning.

“I didn’t get much sleep and was tired, but I put it all to one side, dug in and helped us get a good win at Sheffield.”

It remains to be seen where Addy will be playing his rugby next season and it appears that Hull KR is his most likely destination.

Mitch Clark could join him in East Hull with former Bradford player Jamie Peacock, now Rovers’ head of rugby, believed to be a big admirer of both players.

There has been interest in Addy from other top-flight clubs too.

Why wouldn’t there be for a man regarded as one of the most talented, toughest and versatile player outside of Super League?

The homegrown star, for his part, has yet to commit to any club and Bradford remain keen for him to stay and sign a new deal.

But the 25-year-old admits any decision will take on added significance now he is a father.

Addy said: “Decisions that I make now are obviously not just for me, but also my missus and my little boy.

“I’m providing for somebody else now and that puts things into perspective. But nothing has been decided yet.”

Many of the players Addy came through the ranks at Bradford with have since left and flourished elsewhere.

Elliott Whitehead and Tom Burgess are now in the NRL and John Bateman has emerged as a Man of Steel contender following his outstanding form for Wigan this season.

There are others too, with Addy no doubt mindful that it is a relatively short career.

It is almost certain that a Super League side would deploy him in his favoured position in the back row at loose forward, rather than as a makeshift half-back.

The Scotland international has covered a wide range of positions for club and country in recent seasons – loose forward, hooker, centre, stand-off, scrum half, second row and even prop.

It does not faze him. Indeed, Jimmy Lowes rated Addy highly enough to suggest he could easily be on the radar of NRL clubs.

“Whitehead is absolutely killing it out there and I like to watch his games for Canberra,” said Addy.

“Elliott has been playing in the halves as well and just always seems to be in the right place at the right time.

“If the opportunity came to go to the NRL in the future, it’s something I would seriously consider.

“I like to watch most games at the weekends, mainly Canberra because of Elliott but also Souths with the Burgess boys there.”

The Bulls are expected to be backed by up to 3,000 supporters against Leigh in Blackpool and Addy is enjoying life under Rohan Smith.

He said: “I like him. He’s been here for a couple of weeks but it has been good.”
