It's been an eventful four years for Stuart Reardon but the rugby league ace is glad to be back at Bradford.

In an exclusive interview, the new Bulls number 5 revealed that he is raring to go ahead of Super League XV and hoping to secure the side the promotion place which eluded them last year.

This is Reardon's second spell at the Bradford Bulls, having enjoyed a successful run between 2002 and 2005 which saw him claim the Harry Sunderland award for man of the match in the Super League grand final.

He left to join Warrington Wolves for the 2006 season and was hailed by then-coach Paul Cullen for being the best kick returner in the league, but an Achilles injury suffered in 2008 curtailed his spell.

Stuart was out of action for a year, which saw him travel to Hull and back, but now he is ready for action and hungry to make up for lost time at his hometown club, where he will star on the wing.

"I'm feeling fit and strong and the leg is fine, I've got to thank the physiotherapist Rob Harris for his work, as it's got my career back on track," he said.

Reardon visited former Great Britain physio Harris on a twice-weekly basis in order to get the treatment his Achilles injury needed and says he now feels better than ever.
