The Wolves paid Bradford £30,000 at the start of 2005 to secure the services of one of the most exciting natural talents in the country on a three-year deal. Bridge featured on the wing towards the end of last season but favours stand off or centre. For a playmaker he has a powerful physique and hits hard in defence, he has dangerous footwork and can step through the line. One of the heroes of England Academy's historic first ever series victory over the Australian Schoolboys, Bridge played centre in both 'Tests' of the 2002 Academy series. Oldham born, he played for North West Counties and Lancashire schools as a junior before turning professional with Huddersfield Giants Academy. Upon the Giants' relegation from Super League in 2001, he was ruled a free agent at tribunal enabling Super League champions Bradford Bulls to sign him. A dominating figure for the Bulls' Academy, he won the Dave Valentine Memorial Trophy in their Senior Academy Grand Final defeat to Wigan Warriors in 2003. Also an accomplished goal kicker, who overtook Lee Briers as the club's first choice for much of last year.
