Bulls have been handed a major boost after highly-rated wing Elliot Kear became their fifth new signing.
The 22-year-old Wales international rose to prominence with Crusaders but left the Wrexham-based outfit in the wake of their financial woes which forced them to quit Super League.
He enjoyed a highly successful loan spell at Championship side Hunslet Hawks last season before returning to Crusaders and producing a number of sparkling displays.
Cardiff-born Kear, who joins ex-Crusaders team-mate Jarrod Sammut at Odsal, has followed Bradford closely since he switched from union to league as a teenager.
Kear, a member of Wales’ 2010 European Cup-winning team who can also play full-back, has penned a three-year deal.
He is currently training with the Wales squad ahead of the forthcoming Four Nations and admitted: “If you had told me 12 months ago that I’d be signing for Bradford, I’d have laughed in your face.
“I started following Super League a few years ago and began supporting the Bulls.
“I remember them winning everything and just ripping up the competition."
