Bradford Bulls have announced the signing of Brisbane Tigers three-quarter Max Lehmann on a deal until the end of the season – subject to international clearance.

The 24-year-old joins from the Queensland Cup outfit where he has scored 16 tries in 22 appearances since his debut in 2023.

Lehmann is an American-born speedster, who can play in the centre or on the wing, and he links up with ‘best mate’ Zac Fulton in the red, amber and black.

And having seen how Fulton has kicked on since his arrival earlier this year, with nine tries in his first nine games for the club, Lehmann is eager to make a similar impact.

The new boy said: “I’m really excited to join the Bradford Bulls.

"It's such a historic club with a history of success, and I can’t wait to add to that history.
 
“I’ve always wanted to play sports overseas and travel when I can.

"This is the best opportunity to do both, so when the chance came I wanted to take it with both hands.
 
“I would describe myself as a strong outside back with good hands and strong finishing.
 
“Zac is my best mate and I’ve seen him start to really enjoy his footy here at Bradford, which has seen his game go to another level.

"I’ll be aiming to make the same impact in the areas of the game where I’m involved.
 
“To the Bulls fans, I’d like to say that I’m super excited to join the club and that I can’t wait get them back into Super League.”
 
Bradford boss Eamon O’Carroll has spoken of his delight at capturing a long-term target in Lehmann, who he believes will add quality and depth to his outside backs.

O'Carroll said: “Max is a player we have been monitoring for a number of months now.

"After conversations with him, it was clear he has a real eagerness to come and be a part of what we are trying to do.

“I’ve had really positive feedback from people in Australia about his character and his work ethic so I am confident that, like other players we have brought in this year, he will add to our group.
 
“Max has the ability to play wing or centre, giving us quality and strength in depth which is a huge positive for us.

"I look forward to welcoming him to our club.”
 
Bulls anticipate receiving Visa clearance for Lehmann imminently, with a view to him arriving at the club within the next two weeks.
