MASE THE ACE BECOMES A BULL!

Bradford Bulls are delighted to announce the signing of powerful former Super League forward Nathan Mason on an 18-month deal!

The 30-year-old is back in the red, amber and black after a brief loan spell in 2023, where he scored twice on debut against Swinton Lions. 

Mason has represented London Broncos, Leigh Leopards and Huddersfield Giants in the sport’s top tier, having come through the Academy system at the Giants to make his senior bow in 2013.

Bradford boss Eamon O’Carroll has revealed he tried to make Mason’s stay permanent last season, but is delighted to have secured his signature this time around to bolster his pack for the next 18 months. 

“I remember having a conversation with Nathan when I was in France, he broke his arm and we were keen to keep him here, he came and impressed with what he did on the field but more importantly, how he was off it too,” said O’Carroll, who is sponsored by M & S Combustion Ltd. 

“He took the decision to go back to Australia and back himself which is fantastic but when we heard about his availability we got straight in touch it was an easy one for us. I look forward to working with him, I know his capability he’s played at a high level and I am excited to see where we can get with him. 

“Hopefully I will have some difficult decisions to make and the opportunity to rotate now, which will help us further down the line towards the back end of the season. 

“Competition is really important and we haven’t had that yet, we lost two key individuals in terms of Michael Lawrence and Daniel Smith for long periods, so to bring in quality like Nathan [Mason] certainly helps.”

Nathan will be sponsored by Captain Hornblower, Carol and Tony.
