Leeds Underdogs are happy to announce that Stephen Copeland has joined the Underdogs from Bradford Bulls. Leeds born Stephen Copeland who played prop for the Bulls under 19's team was given permission to move to the Underdogs earlier this week by Bradford and the RFL, which means he could get his first run out in the Home game against Beeston Broncos this Saturday.

Chairman Kevin Brock commented "Stephen is a fantastic addition to the squad and we are hoping to add a few more. He will be joining a group of lads with very different degrees of experience.

Copeland becomes the 29th player to join the Underdogs Open Age squad for the 2014/15 Pennine Division 6 East Season.
