Bradford Bulls have signed half-back Riley Dean from Championship side Oldham until the end of the season.

The 24-year-old previously spent four years at Warrington Wolves after making his debut as a 19-year-old in 2019.

After loans to several clubs, Dean signed for the Australian side Mackay Cutters in 2023 before returning to the UK with Oldham the following year.

Dean said he was "buzzing" to have joined the Bulls and that the staff had been really welcoming.

"I have enjoyed my first session and hopefully I get selected for the weekend," he told the club website, external.

"It's clear the lads work hard for each other which is obviously a great culture to have that the coaches have drilled into them, so I am really excited to be a part of that."

He added: "The Bulls fans came to Oldham last year and it was probably the best atmosphere we had all year; it was really good to see so hopefully I get to experience that now on the right end of it."
