Wigan Warriors young forward joins Bradford Bulls on loan alongside Warrington prop

The duo are in contention to feature for the Championship side in Friday’s season opener at Wakefield Trinity.

Wilson, 19, featured seven times for promotion-chasing Oldham RLFC in 2023, scoring two tries.

He returned to Wigan following a short loan stint with Widnes Vikings earlier this month, and heads to Bradford to help cover injuries and suspensions.

Wilson featured from the interchange bench in last year’s Reserves Grand Final win over St Helens at Robin Park Arena.

Bradford head coach Eamon O’Carroll said: “I am really pleased to get Lucas and Harvey in, we are in a position at the minute with injuries and where the game is at with suspensions where we are really low on numbers.

“Lucas is an energiser; he has some vigour with how he carries the ball and how he defends without it.

“Harvey is another who is more than capable, he comes with a great reputation at Wigan.

“When I spoke to John Duffy it was clear how highly Harvey is thought of and from the games I have seen, having watched him in pre-season against Warrington and a game for Widnes, he has good leg speed and he works really hard so he will settle into the group really well.

“We are extremely grateful to the two clubs for allowing their players to join us on loan and I am really looking forward to working with them both.”
