BULLS have signed Dan Waite-Pullan from Super League neighbours Leeds Rhinos on a one-year deal.

The 21-year-old will don the red, amber and black once more - having played for the club’s Academy prior to moving to Headingley in 2017.

Waite-Pullan, who reunites with former team-mates Joe Brown and Rowan Milnes, can feature in the centres or in the second row and enjoyed a brief spell at Dewsbury Rams during the 2019 season.

The former Stanningley junior has spoken of his excitement at linking up with his former team-mates while looking to kickstart his career at the club under head coach John Kear.

“I want to get my enjoyment back for the game", said Waite-Pullan.

"Getting the opportunity to play is a thing but, and hopefully on the back of that, I will thrive and my best rugby will come out.

“It is exciting to be playing back with my mates. I had some of my best years here through the Academy and hopefully I can make some more memories back with them.

“It was right the right time to move and get back enjoying the game somewhere different and John has told me what I need to do which is fight for my position – that is exactly what I need.”

Kear said: "He is another quality recruit and it is another youngster who has come home and I am absolutely delighted we have managed to get him here.

“I am looking forward to working alongside him – he has a chance not just to make it as a Championship player but a Super League player too.

“We are taking on people who have a point to prove and want to progress – there is an element of hunger in those players we are targeting and Dan fits that indentikit of the Bulls.

“The squad is shaping up really well – we have some real quality and come February 2 we will have some quantity too. I think the fans will be really excited by the players we are bringing in.”
