Lewis Charnock joins Bradford Bulls on loan from St Helens

Bradford have signed St Helens half-back Lewis Charnock 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 Bradford's Championship rivals Leigh.

Gaskell is sidelined with a hamstring injury he suffered against Sheffield last month.

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

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

"He is a gifted youngster and we are looking forward to seeing him gel with the rest of the boys."
