The former Catalans Dragons and Harlequins forward, 29, represented France in the World Cup last year but was not picked up by an engage Super League side due to changes in the Rugby Football League's rules on foreign imports.
"There was a need to strengthen the squad at this time and with both Paul Deacon and Wayne Godwin out injured that has put a whole lot of pressure on our halves," said coach Steve McNamara. "In Julien Rinaldi we have a French international who is comfortable playing either at hooker or in the halves. He is very quick, a good offensive player with a good kicking game as well, so we are really happy we can get him on board."
Rinaldi, who arrives from Australia on Monday, added: "I'm really happy to be back. I've only signed for two months but want to give it another crack, help the Bulls get back up the table and hopefully prove I'm worth a longer contract."
