IT is a case of one step forward and two back for Bradford Bulls at present.

Yesterday morning, they posted a picture on their social media channels of new Australian signing Zac Fulton, who has joined the Odsal club from NRL side Manly Sea Eagles on a one-year deal.

The back row was snapped at Sydney Airport, as he begins his journey to the UK.

He is set to arrive in the country later today and start training alongside his new teammates this weekend, with a view to making his debut against Halifax Panthers in the Betfred Championship on Good Friday.

Two players who will not be playing in that derby at Odsal are stand off Lee Gaskell and prop forward Dan Okoro.

The pair both came off with injuries in Bulls’ opening league game, a defeat at Wakefield Trinity last Friday, and Eamon O’Carroll has now been able to provide further information.

The Bradford head coach expects the pair to be on the sidelines for around six weeks each, Gaskell with a torn hamstring and Okoro with a broken jaw.
