Jamie Foster tempted by union salaries

Bradford Bulls winger Jamie Foster has confirmed that other clubs are interested in him, but the interested clubs are Rugby Union sides.

Jamie Foster who can either play wing or fullback believes he can do the job in the 15-man code even though he’s never played Rugby Union.

Jamie Foster said "The main interest I’ve had is from the other code, Rugby league is where my heart is but rugby union is where the salaries are – and that’s the truth. I’ve been kicking goals with a conversion rate of over 80 per cent for the last four years and maybe, with the balls they use in rugby union, I could improve on that further to maybe 90 per cent.

"Stephen Myler moved from rugby league and has done well at Northampton and Kyle Eastmond has done it too. I’ve not played union before but I would play wing or full back and have started watching it more regularly."

Jamie Foster all added about his future with Bradford if they get relegated.

"I think it would be tough, "There are some lads who have played in some big games for some big teams and they’re only just approaching the peak of their career.” Foster added

"If you’re one of the guys who have been there, done it and are just looking for a season to finish off, then you can understand them wanting to stay.

"

But if you’re 23, 24 or 25 and have had a bit of interest, it’s going to be a case of playing Championship rugby or staying in Super League rugby with a better salary or switching codes."
