Waqa Blake has inked a deal with Bradford Bulls after departing Super League outfit St Helens, per Rugby League Live.

Bradford currently compete in the Championship – the second tier of British rugby league.

The former NRL player – who featured for the Panthers and Eels over a nine-year stint – made the move to the UK in 2024.

He played 24 games and scored 11 tries for St Helens last season but was not offered a contract extension.

Blake is now set to move east to Bradford to play under returning head coach Brian Noble.

The 29-year-old Fijian will also link up with ex-NRL talents Franklin Pele and Jayden Okunbor.

Last season, the Bulls were eliminated in the semi-final stage of the second-tier competition.
