BRADFORD Bulls have announced the signing of centre Keanan Brand on an initial two-week loan from Super League outfit Leigh Leopards.

Brand, 25, made his professional debut for Widnes Vikings in 2019 before going on to be nominated for the Betfred Championship Young Player of the Year.

A short stint at Warrington Wolves preceded a temporary move to the Leigh Sports Village, with that move becoming permanent for the 2022 season. Brand scored 13 tries in 23 appearances for Adrian Lam’s side.

The 25-year-old is also well-known away from his playing career, having been on the winter series of Love Island in 2023.
