Lee St Hilaire has tipped Vinny Finigan to soar in Super League – as long as the Bulls flyer can keep his feet on the ground.

The 20-year-old winger has scored four tries in two senior games after joining the first-team set-up just three weeks ago and should keep his place for Sunday’s clash with Catalans.

But St Hilaire has warned there is still plenty of hard work ahead if Finigan’s obvious potential is to be realised.

“At 20 years old he’s come in a bit late but if he applies himself and does the right things away from the training camp, I reckon he’s a player for the future,” said Bradford’s acting head coach.

“He’s got something about him but he needs to put a frame on because he’s a bit lightweight at the moment.

“Vinny’s quicker than what you’re seeing but I think he’s scared of making the error of trying to take someone on the outside and getting thrown into touch.

“I’d rather he gets thrown into touch than not have a go, to be fair.”

Centre Michael Platt played inside Finigan at Craven Park and admits it’s impossible not to be impressed by the impact the youngster has had.

“We didn’t know that much about Vinny because he’s only been training with us for a few weeks,” said Platt.

“He was given his chance because of the situation we’re in and he’s holding down a part-time job at Tesco while facing players who are earning up to a quarter of a million pounds a year.”
