12 April 2012

Bradford have completed the signing of Great Britain hooker Matt Diskin from Leeds.

Diskin spent 13 years at Headingley and has recently enjoyed a testimonial. However, having seen his opportunities over the last 12 months limited due to the arrival of Danny Buderus, he has opted to make the short move to the Rhinos' West Yorkshire rivals.

The 28-year-old has signed a three-year deal at Odsal and is looking forward to the challenge.

He said: "It has all happened very quickly but I am really looking forward to joining the Bulls.

"They are assembling a very good squad for next season and I feel the move will help me to reinvigorate my career.

"At this stage in my career I've still got a lot of personal goals I want to fulfil.

"I want to play international rugby league again and I've still got things I want to achieve and I think this move is what I need to achieve that."

Bulls chairman Peter Hood said: "We are delighted to have captured the signature of Matt.

"We are always interested in quality players and when a player of Matt's pedigree unexpectedly became available we moved quickly.

"He is a high quality player who will add a lot of depth and competition within our squad and our coach, Mick Potter, is really looking forward to working with him in the future."
