Playing career

An Illawarra junior, Bulgarelli was playing with Easts Tigers in the Queensland Cup, before joining the Canberra Raiders. Bulgarelli made his NRL debut in round 10 of the 2003 season at the age of 27, and was the club's rookie of the year.[2]

In August, 2004, he was named alongside club greats Laurie Daley and Sam Backo when the Raiders selected a side representing the all-time best Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders to have played for the club.[3]

Bulgarelli was sacked from the Raiders' club in 2004 after a package he allegedly tried to collect was discovered to contain ecstasy tablets.[4] He later returned to the Queensland Cup with the Ipswich Jets.[5]

He had represented the Italian rugby league team[6]
