Worrincy is the Bulls' third signing in a week
|
Bradford Bulls have signed back-row forward Michael Worrincy from Harlequins on a two-year contract.
The 22-year-old, who was born in Leeds, scored eight tries in just 16 games for Quins last season.
Worrincy said: "Bradford's a great club and environment for me to develop and I'm really looking forward to getting up there and making a mark."
Menawhile, the Bulls' Simon Finnigan has joined Huddersfield Giants on a three-year deal.
Worrincy added: "I've heard a lot about Steve McNamara as a coach and it will be great to have someone to get the best out of me.
"It's been good in London. I came back down after a loan spell at Hull and have played plenty of first-team rugby recently but there's an opportunity there to win silverware with the Bulls and I can't wait to return north."
Bulls coach McNamara said he was delighted with signing of Worrincy, who he believes is one of Super League's quickest forwards.

Being young, quick, explosive and English, he is just what we need

"Mike's probably the fastest back-rower in the competition," said McNamara. "He has some sensational speed but is also a very powerful athlete standing at 6ft 2ins.
"He scores tries, is a great support player and very knowledgeable about rugby league.
"Being young, quick, explosive and English, he is just what we need and has the potential - like Rikki Sheriffe - to go on and play internationally."
Worrincy spent the 2005 season on loan at Hull before making his debut against Bradford in 2006.
