BRADFORD Bulls have announced that Rhys Evans has put pen-to-paper on a new one-year deal with the club – extending his stay at the club into the 2020 season.

The news is highly welcome, with Bulls losing four first team players to Hull Kingston Rovers yesterday. Elliot Minchella, Joe Keyes, Matty Storton and Rowan Milnes all joined the Super League side, with Milnes coming back to Bradford on loan for next year.

Evans is the second player to officially re-sign for the club since special measures were lifted on Tuesday, with Ross Oakes agreeing a two-year deal yesterday.
