A DEAL to save Bradford Bulls from liquidation will be announced tomorrow, the Telegraph & Argus understands.

Sources say an agreement was reached this afternoon, with a formal statement to be made tomorrow.

Consultation letters were sent out to employees on Wednesday as staff were told to prepare for the threat of redundancy, but those fears have been quashed.

It is believed the deal to buy the club hinged on the Rugby Football League selling its lease on Odsal stadium to the sole remaining bidder, so the stadium could be developed.

The impending sale comes six weeks after the club was put into administration, and the last bidder left in the running for the club had been in negotiations with the RFL since Monday.

RFL officials also met players and staff at the club today, the T&A understands.
