LIAM Kirk is the next Bulls player to sign a new deal with the club.

The towering 22-year-old has penned a one-year contract, taking him into his fifth year as a first-team player in 2020.

The Academy product joins Sam Hallas, David Foggin-Johnston, George Flanagan, Rhys Evans and Ross Oakes in penning new deals since Bulls came out of special measures.

Former Drighlington amateur Kirk has made 79 appearances to date, scoring five tries. The 6ft 4in prop was a near ever-present in 2019 with 23 first team appearances.

Kirk said: "I am happy to have signed a new deal and to be playing for the club again next year.

"I would like to thank the fans for their support and I will keep working hard to try improve further next year.

"I want to be able to help the next generation of players coming through the ranks and can't wait to help."
