Brad joined Leopards from his local club Castleford Tigers on a two-year contract after making 40 appearances for the Tigers since his Super League debut in 2020.

Leopards’ head of rugby Chris Chester said: “Brad is a prop or lock forward who has gained good experience at Castleford, and I’m delighted he is joining us for 2025.

Pontefract born, Brad came up through the ranks of Dewsbury Moor community club and spent four years in the Leeds Rhinos academy ranks. He joined the Tigers in 2020 in a bid to earn first-team opportunities and made a late season debut against Hull KR. He went on to become a regular member of the first team squad and furthered his experience with dual registration spells at Midlands Hurricanes.

Brad played off the bench in Tigers’ 28-28 draw at the Leopards Den in Round 10 in 2024 and made his final Tigers’ appearance in Round 26 at St Helens.

In March 2025 he began a loan spell at Batley Bulldogs, scoring two tries on debut in their victory over Widnes Vikings.
