Worrincy joins Bradford

Bradford have signed back-rower Michael Worrincy on a two-year contract from Super League rivals Harlequins.

Worrincy, from Leeds, scored eight tries in just 16 games for the Quins and is looking forward to joining the Bulls.

"Bradford's a great club and environment for me to develop and I'm really looking forward to getting up there and making a mark," said Worrincy.

"I've heard a lot about Steve McNamara as a coach and it will be great to have someone to get the best out of me.

"It's been good in London. I came back down after a loan spell at Hull and have played plenty of first-team rugby recently - but there's an opportunity to win silverware with the Bulls and I can't wait to return north."

Bulls boss McNamara believes he has captured one of Super League's quickest forwards and a player with genuine talent.

He explained: "Mike's probably the fastest back-rower in the competition. He has some sensational speed but is also a very powerful athlete standing at 6ft 2in.

"He scores tries, is a great support player and very knowledgeable about rugby league.

"Being young, quick, explosive and English, he is just what we need and has the potential - like Rikki Sheriffe - to go on and play internationally."
