FORMER NRL STAR OKUNBOR JOINS ON LOAN

Bradford Bulls are delighted to announce the signing of former NRL star Jayden Okunbor on short term loan from Hull FC.

Standing tall at 6ft 5in, Okunbor primarily features in the centres or on the wing but has also featured in the back row for the Airlie Birds in Super League. 

Australian-born, Jayden came through the pathway system at Canterbury Bulldogs before going on to make his NRL debut in 2019 against Wests Tigers. 

Bradford boss Eamon O’Carroll believes Okunbor’s experience and skill set will further boost his outside backs in the weeks to come.

“We are pleased to be able to bring in someone with the experience of Jayden,” said O’Carroll, who is sponsored by M & S Combustion Ltd. 

“After speaking to Jayden, he made his intentions clear that he wants to get back to playing his best rugby at a competitive level. I know our environment and the people in here will give him the best opportunity to get back to his best. 

“He has a good skill set and will add some presence to our group in the outside backs. I’d like to thank Richie Myler and Simon Grix for their help and support over the last week in allowing both Jayden and Liam to join our club.” 

Jayden will be sponsored by Sondad.
