Bradford have signed Cook Island international three-quarter Keith Lulia on a two-year contract from Newcastle Knights.

The 6ft 4in Lulia, who turned 24 on Friday, played under Bulls head coach Mick Potter as a youngster at St George Illawarra.

"Keith is a fantastic acquisition for the club," said Potter. "I have monitored his progress since he was a junior in Wollongong playing with Port Kembla."

He added: "He is a dynamic outside back that can beat people and he is a solid defender.

"I think he will really make a mark in Super League in the future and I am delighted to have captured him at such a young age."

Lulia, who will link up with Bradford at the end of the year, has been signed as a centre, although he can also play on the wing.

"I'm really looking forward to getting there for the 2012 season and I'm super keen to prove myself in the English Super League," he said.

"I know my decision will prove to be a winner for both parties.

"My fiancee, Kelly, and I are extremely excited about the challenge ahead. I did plenty of my own research into Bradford's history and have monitored their efforts this season.

"They are a club with a proud tradition and are on the rise. I'm excited to be part of their future and I thank them for the professional manner in which all negotiations have taken place."
