A former Bradford Bulls star is looking forward to tackling a different challenge after being appointed to the sales team of timber merchant CR Taylor (Timber) Ltd.

Taylors has recently appointed 36-year-old Kiwi Carlos Hassan who has a rich rugby pedigree having played the thirteen-a-side code for the Bulls in the first two seasons of Super League. He has since starred in the other code with Morley, Rotherham, Bristol and Sedgley Park and currently takes to the field for Bradford & Bingley.

Mr Hassan has worked for Taylors before and is delighted to be back. “I suppose you could say that I am here to try and convert new sales opportunities,” he said.
