Bulls sign Salford’s Williams on loan

James Lowes’ first capture since taking over as head coach, the ex-Leeds Rhinos player goes straight into contention for Sunday’s Super League visit of Catalan Dragons.

Williams has scored three tries in nine appearances for Salford this year, having previously enjoyed stints with Castleford Tigers, Hull FC, Hull Kingston Rovers and – in rugby union – Newcastle Falcons.

“I am looking forward to making the most of this opportunity,” he said, as he prepared to aid the West Yorkshire’s increasingly futile fight to avoid relegation.

“Bradford is a big club and I am thankful to be a part of it.

“There is plenty of competition for places in the backline here, which can be only healthy for the club. So, if I train well, hopefully I will get the nod for this weekend.

“It looks as though I will be battling against my parent club, as the Bulls fight for Super League survival.

“And as much as I want Salford to do well, I am a Bradford player now and I want to do my very best for the club.”

Bradford already have two wingers - Jamie Foster and Luke George - on the fringes of their squad but Lowes added: “Danny is a very good and very experienced player.

“He will certainly add quality to the squad and we are very pleased the opportunity has come along.

“I am sure Danny can enhance what we have already got. It always helps to have competition for places, which is something we do not have enough of at the minute.

“He starts training in the morning, so we will see how he settles in and develops. He is very much in contention, though, for the game against Catalan – which is another big one for us.”
