Bradford sign Castleford duo

Britain?s most successful Rugby Club, World Champions, Bradford Bulls, have announced the signing of Forwards, Ryan Hudson and Andy Lynch from Castleford Tigers.

Both players became available once Castleford?s relegation from Super League was confirmed and Bradford moved quickly to secure their signatures.

Lynch, a Prop Forward, has signed a two year deal at Odsal. He has been selected for the England Squad for the forthcoming International Series and is seen as an ideal replacement for St Helens bound Paul Anderson. Hudson, who can operate effectively in either the Back Row or at Hooker, has penned a three year deal with the Bulls

Bulls Coach Brian Noble is delighted with the signings:

?Both players will be great additions to our squad for the next few years. They are both young players but with a wealth of experience behind them. I think they will develop in our environment and will quickly establish themselves as favourites with the Bulls supporters for many years to come.?

Andy Lynch is looking forward to joining the Bulls:

?I am very pleased to be joining Bradford Bulls. They are one of the top clubs in the world and I feel my game will develop under Brian Noble and the team at Odsal. Every player wants to win honours and I think I am joining the best club to help me achieve my ambitions.?

Ryan Hudson said:

?Naturally I have a great amount of respect for Brian Noble and Steve

McNamara and am both flattered and delighted to be joining Bradford Bulls in Super League ten! The opportunity to play with such an elite squad of players and the prospect of playing in such an awesome pack is one I relish and simply means I can?t wait for next season to start! Hopefully, I will become a much improved player under the guidance of Brian and Steve surrounded by great players and help the team lift silverware again at Odsal."
