Josh Johnson joins Bradford Bulls

Widnes Vikings can confirm that forward Josh Johnson has joined Bradford Bulls.

Johnson approached the club asking for a release from his contract earlier this week, and that request has now been granted.

With competition for places in the front row fierce, including the likes of Owen Farnworth, Kyle Amor, Callum Field, Ant Walker and Lewis Hatton, it was decided that it would be in the best interest of both parties to allow Johnson to leave.

He unfortunately suffered an injury on his debut at home to Whitehaven, but returned later on in the season to make six further appearances, the last of which was in the away win at Bradford in September.

His final run out in a Vikings shirt was during last week’s pre-season win over Oldham.
