Bradford Bulls have announced that Connor Carr and Max Wood have joined the club on initial two-week loans from Super League duo Huddersfield and Warrington respectively.

Carr, 20, can feature in the centres or on the wing and penned his first professional two-year contract with the Giants last October, having come through the club’s academy pathway.

It rounded off an impressive year for Carr, who had spent the season on loan in League 1 with Oldham, where he scored 14 tries in 31 appearances. 

Wood, 19, is a powerful front-row prospect who made his Super League debut under new Wire head coach Sam Burgess against Hull FC in Round Two earlier this year.

The teenager also scored twice on his first appearance for Warrington, which came in a pre-season clash against Widnes Vikings.

The duo come into contention to play straightaway, which will be music to the ears of Bulls head coach Eamon O’Carroll, who has been dealing with a number of injuries and suspensions for his players over the last few weeks.

Discussing the two new loan signings, O’Carroll said: “Connor will give us some much-needed competition and depth in our outside backs.

“He works hard in and gets through plenty of work, he’s eager to impress and has a great attitude.

“As for Max, he is someone we have been looking at for some time now.

“He will give us a point of difference and from the games I’ve seen he’s been very impressive.

“He carries the ball with intent and challenges oppositions defences while defensively he works hard and has good energy.

“I’m really looking forward to working with these two players and I’m confident they will add to our group.”

Both Carr and Wood could make their first appearances for Bulls in the side’s blockbuster Betfred Championship clash with Halifax Panthers at Odsal Stadium on Good Friday.
