ST HELENS half-back Lewis Charnock has joined the Bulls on a month's loan to provide cover for the injured Lee Gaskell.

The 21-year-old has made six appearances for Saints but has been unable to break into their Super League side this year and recently had a loan spell with Leigh.

Bulls coach Rohan Smith said: "I'm very pleased we have been able to secure Lewis' services.

"He has impressed for St Helens' reserve team and has a lot of talent, which we will look to develop in the side."
