WYNNE JOINS THE BULLS

Bradford Bulls are delighted to announce the signing of prolific try-scorer Connor Wynne on a one-year deal!

The 24-year-old arrives at Bartercard Odsal Stadium for a second spell in the red, amber and black – having previously spent time at the club during the 2023 season.

Wynne made seven appearances during that stint, which was sandwiched with spells at Hull FC and Featherstone Rovers – with the outside back scoring 35 tries in 47 appearances for the Flat Cappers. 

Now with eyes on a second opportunity in Super League, Wynne has spoken of his hunger to make his mark in Bradford colours. 

Connor Wynne said:

“It feels really good to be back, it's been a goal of mine to get back to the top and to especially do it with a team that I've already been at, where I loved my time. The club was great with me, everyone around the club, I respected them, they respected me and I just couldn't speak ill of them so to get the chance to come back, it was a no-brainer.

“2023 was the year that made me love the game. I was close to quitting that year because I suffered with injuries and things like that. I'm just really keen to build myself again back in Super League and this club made me definitely want to play rugby again back then. 

“I'm keen to learn off Kurt [Haggerty]. He's been at the top coaching for a reason because he knows his stuff and we've all just got to buy into it. The chats I have had with him have been good but I've just got to work hard and get myself in that team. You don't want to just go into a team knowing you're going to get a spot and we've got some great players who they're going to push me on and I'm going to push them on. It's always good to have competition, but I'm sure the best man will win. 

“I think I'm a lot more professional now. I probably took it for granted back when I was at Hull FC and I didn't realise how good I had it, but now it's a chance to prove myself again. I've got a lot to prove so I'm really keen to work on myself a lot more, making sure I'm the most professional player I can be. I've grown up a lot since then so I just want to make sure I'm a true professional and constantly working hard. 

“A few years ago I didn't really think I'd get the chance to come back and now I have. I'm going to take the chance with two hands and not let go of it. I'm going to put my best foot forward and show everyone what I'm about. I'm not the finished article, there's still a lot more improvement in me and I'm ready to show people what I'm about. 

“I want to create some history with this club. There’s already a great history but we want to build on that history, it'll be special and to play alongside some players that we've got. 

Bradford Bulls Head Coach Kurt Haggerty said: 

“The most important thing with Connor was how desperate he was to get back to the Bulls and the more I have watched his game and studied him, I’ve seen there’s a really good player in there. He’s powerful with how he carries the ball, he’s aggressive in his contact and he’s hard to handle for a man who isn’t overly big.

“He’s extremely powerful, explosive and he really wanted to come to the Bulls which was an opportunity I was willing to give him and I’m really looking forward to working with Connor.”
