I\u2019ve done a little bit of research on the club and seen what they were like in the golden days.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;I saw what the club did when they were a powerhouse back in the day, and I think we\u2019ve got the people inside the club and the staff around it who can bring that feel-good factor back to the city.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cLinking back up with Kurt was a big factor, having the connection I do with him which I also have with some of the other boys like Jayden (Nikorima) and Ethan (Ryan).\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;Having that familiarity amongst ourselves will be massive. We\u2019re so tight off the field as well, so it shows when it comes to on-field stuff \u2013 how connected we are will play a massive part.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cThe main thing I\u2019ll be looking to bring is energy, constant energy whether that\u2019s off the field or on it \u2013 working hard and doing the best I can to help my teammates out.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cI can\u2019t wait to link up with the big Scooter [Mitch Souter]. We made our New South Wales Cup debut together in Canberra and he\u2019s one of my best mates. I\u2019ve spoken to him since he moved over here and he\u2019s had nothing but good words to say about the club, so everything has built my excitement up.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cHaving a connection with the fans means everything to me. I can hear it on the pitch and whenever I hear that support, it gives me an extra boost and that second wind that I need. I\u2019ll just try and get the fans involved as much as I can because, at the end of the day, they drive me and I wouldn\u2019t be where I am today without the fans.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Bradford Bulls Head Coach Kurt Haggerty said: \u201cLoghan is a fantastic character; he\u2019s a fantastic person and he\u2019ll certainly bring energy to the team and to the club. He\u2019s great to have around the place. His biggest strength in his game is his defence.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cHe\u2019s very aggressive and his contact within collisions is very, very tough, and he has a point of difference in how fast he plays the ball, so Loghan\u2019s a great acquisition for the club.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 22-year-old joined Salford Red Devils midway through the 2024 season, where his dominant performances quickly earned him&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":232587,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-232586","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-rugby","8":"tag-rugby","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/232586","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=232586"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/232586\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/232587"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=232586"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=232586"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=232586"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
