Hull KR have confirmed that Chev Walker will join Bradford next season after the centre successfully returned from a career-threatening injury. Walker appeared for Rovers' under-20 side at the weekend, almost a year after suffering a gruesome compound fracture of his leg in a Super League play-off clash with Leeds. The former Great Britain international, who has scored five tries in 31 games for the Robins, will be out of contract with the club at the end of the year. He has not been offered a new deal and announced his move to the Bulls on Twitter, with Hull KR later confirming the deal on Wednesday. "The club thank Chev for his contribution during his time at Craven Park and wish him all the best for his future at the Bulls in 2011," Rovers stated on their website. Walker will be the first new signing for incoming Bulls coach Mick Potter, who is also thought to be interested in France captain Oliver Elima, Hull prop Ewan Dowes and Wigan winger Shaun Ainscough.
