Burke Joins Bradford on Loan
Wigan Forward Greg Burke has today joined Super League side Bradford Bulls on a One-Month Loan deal.
Greg was on the bench for Sunday's 46-24 win over Wakefield Trinity Wildcats at the DW Stadium and made seventeen First Team appearances for the Club in 2013 after impressing in the early part of the season.
Speaking about the Loan deal, Warriors Head Coach Shaun Wane said;
"This is a good opportunity for Greg to gain some regular football at the highest level and he will come back to us in a month's time with some Super League game time under his belt. Greg is a valuable member of our playing squad but at the moment I can't promise him a regular place in the side and both him and the Bulls will benefit from this agreement."
Bradford Head Coach Francis Cummins added;
"I am very excited about what Greg might produce over the next few weeks or so.
"We believe he will prove a real handful for the opposition and he certainly adds a huge amount to our pack.
"I would like to thank Wigan Warriors and Shaun Wane for allowing him to come to us for a period. We hope to see him further improve with us here at the Bulls."
Greg is likely to be in the Bulls squad for Friday's away game against Hull FC at the KC Stadium.

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
