DANE Chisholm today announced his departure from the Bradford Bulls – with a blast at the way they have been kept in the dark.

Chisholm’s expected departure comes hot on the heels of that of former coach Rohan Smith.

But the Aussie revealed he had to contact the club himself to hear the news.

Chisholm wrote on Twitter: “Sorry to all the Bradford boys and supporters but the new owners have made the decision not to keep me on board for 2017. I had to call the club myself to find out the news.

“The way all the players, fans and staff and players have been treated throughout this whole situation has been absolutely appalling and I’m so proud of how you have all conducted yourselves.”
