BRADFORD Bulls have confirmed that outside back Jayden Okunbor has signed a one-year contract extension into the 2025 season.

The 6ft 5in former Canterbury Bulldog initially arrived at Bartercard Odsal on loan from Hull FC, making an instant impact – scoring three tries in five appearances. 

Quickly becoming a fans’ favourite, Okunbor penned a permanent deal until the end of the season before today’s extension which further bolsters Eamon O’Carroll’s ranks next season. 

Bradford boss Eamon O’Carroll believes there’s a lot more to come from the Australian – and has spoken of his excitement at the prospect. 

“I am really happy to have signed Jayden for another 12 months. He has really immersed himself into the group and it is clear to see he’s got a smile back on his face and that has transferred onto the field. 

“The exciting thing for me is, he still has so much more to offer and I feel like the longer he is on that journey with us, the better he will get. 

“It’s clear he’s become a fans’ favourite through his performances, he’s well liked and well respected within the team too so I am excited about seeing him in a Bulls jersey across the course of the next year.”
