Bradford Bulls have announced their latest signing ahead of 2026, as former Hull FC outside back Connor Wynne returns to the club.

Wynne joins the West Yorkshire outfit from Featherstone Rovers, following two seasons at Post Office Road.

He will join Super League regulars Andy Ackers, Rowan Milnes and Jayden Nikorima, among others, in joining the Odsal project next season, having penned a deal for the next 12 months.

Now under the tutelage of Kurt Haggerty, Bradford are looking to make their Super League stay a permanent one, and have 12 years worth of time spent in the second and third division to make up for.

Having already played for the club in 2023, Wynne will provide healthy competition for places in the Bulls ranks, however could even land a starting role, with the club having former St Helens man Waqa Blake as their only recognised centre.

The 24-year-old is also capable of playing at either centre or on the wing, the latter of which he spent the majority of his Rovers career at. He scored 35 tries in 48 appearances for Featherstone.

Former Hull FC man ready for Super League second chance as Bradford Bulls move confirmed

Speaking on his Bulls return, he said: “It feels really good to be back, it’s been a goal of mine to get back to the top and to especially do it with a team that I’ve already been at, where I loved my time. The club was great with me, everyone around the club, I respected them, they respected me and I just couldn’t speak ill of them so to get the chance to come back, it was a no-brainer.

“2023 was the year that made me love the game. I was close to quitting that year because I suffered with injuries and things like that. I’m just really keen to build myself again back in Super League and this club made me definitely want to play rugby again back then.

Commenting on what he can learn from his new boss, Haggerty, he said: “He’s been at the top coaching for a reason because he knows his stuff and we’ve all just got to buy into it. The chats I have had with him have been good but I’ve just got to work hard and get myself in that team.

“You don’t want to just go into a team knowing you’re going to get a spot and we’ve got some great players who they’re going to push me on and I’m going to push them on. It’s always good to have competition, but I’m sure the best man will win.

Wynne has had some mixed results when in his rugby league career so far, with him noting a low point came when he was released from Hull FC. However, he believes he has developed since that moment, and is ready to help Bradford become a stable Super League side once again.

“I probably took it for granted back when I was at Hull FC and I didn’t realise how good I had it, but now it’s a chance to prove myself again. I’ve got a lot to prove so I’m really keen to work on myself a lot more, making sure I’m the most professional player I can be. I’ve grown up a lot since then so I just want to make sure I’m a true professional and constantly working hard.

“A few years ago I didn’t really think I’d get the chance to come back and now I have. I’m going to take the chance with two hands and not let go of it. I’m going to put my best foot forward and show everyone what I’m about. I’m not the finished article, there’s still a lot more improvement in me and I’m ready to show people what I’m about.
