Former Huddersfield, Hull KR and Halifax prop Phil Joseph has been handed a 12-month contract with Bradford Bulls.

The 26-year-old had initial joined the Bulls on trial from Swinton - and having impressed coach Mick Potter in pre-season, Joseph has been rewarded with a full-time deal.

"I'm absolutely over the moon," Joseph said. "I've worked really hard to get to this level and I'm just really happy.

"I'm very proud and honoured to be at Bradford. It's a great club and this is the biggest achievement in my life."

Potter added: "He's come from playing part-time so he's like a new young guy coming into the squad and is very enthusiastic and wants to do well and improve all the time. He's in his mid-twenties but he's very driven and I'm looking forward to seeing how he progresses throughout the year."
