Jamie Langley has been there, done it and got the medals to prove it.

Few players in Super League have experienced the highs and lows that Langley has during a decade’s outstanding service at Odsal.

A one-club man, Langley was a rookie pushing through the ranks when Brian Noble’s all-conquering side were collecting trophies for fun during the early years of the new millennium.

This week’s slide into administration, however, has forced the loose forward to reflect on several years of steady decline.

The Bulls’ longest-serving player reflected: “I was at the club at the height of winning all those trophies right through to the lows of being at this point.

“It’s been quite a decline over the last few years and I don’t think it’s something that has just come suddenly overnight. I think people have been aware of it for some time now.”

It all came to a head on Tuesday morning when Mick Potter’s squad and the rest of the club’s staff were addressed by administrator Brendan Guilfoyle alongside Stephen Coulby and Ryan Duckett.

Langley, 28, said: “Selling key players and selling the stadium all showed signs that there was obviously something not right.

“As far as we are aware, the Bulls have done the best they possibly can to keep the club afloat. But it wasn’t to be and unfortunately this has happened.

“I’ve been here through the highs and lows and now we’re just keeping our fingers crossed that we can find a buyer to avoid liquidation.”

The popular forward is among a rare breed of Super League players who have spent their entire career with the same club.

Langley joined Bradford from amateur outfit Norman-ton Knights before progressing through the youth ranks and establishing himself as a key figure at Odsal during the past decade.

The Bulls vice-captain is in his 11th Super League campaign and is the only member of the 2005 Grand Final-winning side still at the club.

Langley, who is contracted to Bradford until the end of 2013, accepts the club’s play-off hopes are effectively over.

“Obviously we’re going to get points docked for this year,” he said.

“Ryan Duckett, Stephen Coulby and Brendan Guilfoyle have answered the questions as best they possibly can.

“There were a few emotional people in there on Tuesday but we’re going to have to take a step back from it and just assess the situation as players and hope for the best.”
