Prop signs two-year contract with Super League side
Bradford have signed the much-travelled prop Danny Sculthorpe on a two-year contract.
The 30-year-old, who impressed during a recent three-month loan spell at Huddersfield, started his career at Leeds and has also played for Warrington, Rochdale, Wigan, Castleford and Wakefield.
The younger brother of former St Helens and Great Britain captain Paul Sculthorpe will help to fill the void left by the departure of Sam Burgess to Australia.
"Danny is an old-fashioned English-style front-rower, a real ball-playing forward," said Bradford coach Steve McNamara. "We needed to make another acquisition in that area with Sam leaving.
"Danny Sculthorpe is his own person but he's an outstanding footballer who has caused us trouble in the past.
"When I've coached against him, we've really had to counter him in terms of his fantastic off-load ability in any situation. He's one of a dying breed. He will suit the way we want to play the game."
Sculthorpe is looking forward to settling in at his seventh Super League team.
"I'm looking forward to a bit of stability and Bradford are a massive club," he said.
"It's a big challenge and I cannot wait to get started. Odsal is a stadium where I've always enjoyed playing even as an away player. It will be even better to have that support behind me."
