MASKILL SIGNS FOLLOWING SUCCESSFUL TRIAL

FOLLOWING a successful trial period - we are delighted to announce Danny Maskill will be a Bull until at least the end of the 2020 season.

The former Featherstone Rovers hooker impressed throughout last week’s Reserves victory over Castleford Tigers – Maskill playing a starring role having been introduced off the bench. 

24-year-old Maskill arrives following spells at Featherstone Rovers and Wakefield Trinity – either side of three years in Australia.

Bradford boss John Kear believes Maskill’s arrival adds quality and depth to his 2020 roster – insisting he will prove a valuable addition to the squad.

“Anyone who saw the Reserves game last week will have seen Danny’s quality – he exuded composure and quality and his service from dummy half and work rate in defence was excellent,” said Maskill.

“Those qualities earnt him a deal and we feel this isn’t a gamble – he played 13 games for a very good Featherstone Rover side last year and he will be a valuable addition to the squad.

“We are well covered at nine but when someone of quality comes available you have to take the opportunity.

“Having a Reserves structure has allowed us to sign him – he likes the feel of us and we like the look of him and on the back of that we have come to an agreement.

“I am looking forward to him putting pressure on Sam Hallas, Thomas Doyle and George Flanagan and making me scratch my head when it comes to picking the first team.

“We are starting to get some quantity to compliment the quality and we will recruit where possible in order to cover for any injuries.”
