The 30-year-old front-rower, younger brother of former St Helens and Great Britain captain Paul Sculthorpe, has signed for the Bulls on a two-year contract.

The much-travelled Sculthorpe started his career at Leeds and played for Warrington, Rochdale, Wigan, Castleford and Wakefield before spending the last three months of the season on loan at Huddersfield. He made 13 appearances for the Giants, where he impressed coach Nathan Brown, and was also thought to be a target for new Celtic Crusaders boss Noble.

Sculthorpe said: "I'm looking forward to a bit of stability and Bradford are a massive club.

"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."

Sculthorpe will help to fill the void at Odsal created by the departure of Sam Burgess to Australia.

Bradford coach Steve McNamara said: "Danny is an old-fashioned English-style front-rower, a real ball-playing forward. We needed to make another acquisition in that area with Sam leaving.

"Danny 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."
