Moss joins Bradford exodus to sign for Hull KR

Although the Robins have already captured fellow Australian No 1 Adam Quinlan for their Championship campaign, they have now also moved to bring in Moss, too.

He only joined Bradford from Parramatta Eels on an 18-month deal last June, a first signing for Rohan Smith.

However, having become a free agent last week following the club’s collapse into liquidation, the 23-year-old has become the latest player to depart Odsal.

Moss follows the likes of Jason Walton, James Clare, Kris Welham, Adam O’Brien and Alex Mellor out of the club who, crucially, are still in limbo waiting to see who will be their new owners with the RFL considering bids.

Having seen Ken Sio return to the NRL following relegation and Kieran Dixon sign for London Broncos, Rovers are currently missing veteran full-back Ben Cockayne due to injury while Matty Marsh is out for the year following a knee reconstruction.

Moss, who scored 13 tries in 16 games for Bulls last term, offers coach Tim Sheens another option as the East Yorkshire club – due to host Bradford in their opening league game on February 5 – strive to quickly return to Super League.

Moss’s departure was one of the reasons why Batley Bulldogs’ game with a Bradford ‘Select’ side – planned for this Sunday – was called off yesterday.

Bulldogs were planning to donate a share of the proceeds to the Bradford players and staff, who have been out of work since Bulls ceased trading last week.

Although some players have left, the remaining group have been training together and hoped to play at Mount Pleasant.

But Batley chief executive Paul Harrison confirmed: “The game is off. It was okayed by the RFL, but more players are leaving Bradford so they are unable to raise a team.”

Harrison said there was also concern about the possibility of players being injured when not signed to a club.
