JORDAN Lilley insists he will grab his latest Bulls opportunity "with both hands" after agreeing another one-month loan deal at Odsal.

The Leeds Rhinos youngster made a big impression on Bradford fans earlier this campaign, linking up well with both Leon Pryce and Joe Keyes in the halves as the Bulls quickly made inroads into their 12-point deficit.

However, the 20-year-old was recalled for the second time when his Super League parent club required reinforcements over the hectic Easter period.

And that departure coincided with Bradford's worst run of the season, encompassing four straight Kingstone Press Championship defeats.

Desperately needing something to lift the gloom, the Bulls announced the return of Lilley and prop Mikolaj Oledzki – and capture of fellow Rhino Cameron Smith – late on Wednesday evening.

Bramley lad Lilley, who made 24 senior appearances for Leeds last season, is already looking forward to the Bulls' next outing – against London Broncos on Sunday, May 21.

He said: “Coming back to Bradford to have the opportunity to play week-in week-out is something I will grab with both hands and I am really up for it.

“The lads are brilliant. We have a laugh and they always seem to be so upbeat. Everyone is determined for the Bulls to get back on the horse now.

“I want to be a part of that, I want to do my best to put the Bulls back in a positive position – one they deserve to be in.”

Bulls interim head coach Leigh Beattie added: “It’s great to have Jordan back. Having him in the squad previously has proven to be an effective move. He is great on the ball and offers a lot to the team.

“He is a great asset to any side that he plays in and we are extremely happy to have him back playing in a Bulls jersey.”
