Heritage No. 974

Player profile

David Bradbury was one of several signings made by Peter Tunks from the 1991 BARLA “young lions” team that toured Australia. Tunks went on to predict a big future in the game for the Leigh based second row or loose forward and five years on this came to pass with his inclusion in the 1996 team to tour Papua-New Guinea and New Zealand.

David made his Oldham debut when coming on as a substitute in the second round Lancashire Cup match, against St Helens on September 26th, 1991. The following season he made 25 appearances when the club clinched promotion to the first division.

After a lengthy lay off due to suspension David returned to the team in the centenary season, a much wiser and more mature player. His impressive displays of strong straight running in the first “Super League” campaign, earned him his deserved tour call up.
