Daniel Okoro has played six games for Bradford, catching the eye with his physicality

Warrington Wolves have signed prop Daniel Okoro from Championship side Bradford Bulls with immediate effect on a deal until the end of 2027.

The 20-year-old has played six games for Eamon O'Carroll's Bulls in 2024 and has two tries in 20 senior games.

Okoro was at Hull KR, where he came through the junior ranks, and also had spells at Hunslet and Newcastle.

"Dan is an exciting young prop with a lot of potential," head coach Sam Burgess said.

"[He has] the right attitude to move up into Super League. He will add value to our pack and I'm excited to see his progression."

The Wire say Okoro, who has also been involved in Nigeria's rugby league side, will be ready for selection "in the coming weeks".

Okoro said: "The energy around the place is great and I've been made to feel at home from day one.

"It's a massive club and to be working under Sam Burgess is huge for me.

"As a middle, there's no-one better to be coached by. The passion he can instil in you and the defensive skills are number one."
