Castleford Tigers back Chris Atkin has joined Super League rivals Bradford.

The 33 year old joined Cas from Salford last year, making 19 appearance for them since last summer.

He's now agreed a deal to remain with Bulls until the end of this season.

Speaking to the Cas Tigers website, Atkin said: “I am really excited, I am looking forward to getting stuck in."

"Having spoken to Kurt and a few of the other lads in the group, they’ve only got positive things to say about the club and where the club is trying to go this season and beyond.

“Speaking to Kurt about his vision and ethos, knowing how he wants to play the game was a big factor in coming to the Bulls, I am really excited to work with him again and to link back up with a few of the boys too.

“It’s clear the Bulls have come to play, they’ve turned up every week and put a performance on and that may have surprised people on the outside looking in but I don’t think it will be a surprise to the group.

"They look really good and I’m really excited to get involved and be a part of that."
