BRADFORD Bulls have confirmed that Matty Race is the first of a number of their Reserve Grade stars who will still don the red, amber and black in 2021.

The 19-year-old featured in all four of Mark Dunning's Reserve Grade side's fixtures in 2020 - impressing to earn a spot in the 21-man squad for both of the club's Coral Challenge Cup ties this year.

Race, who can play at full-back or in the halves, scored two tries and notched four assists for the reserves in 2020 and is tipped to have a big future in the game by Dunning and Bulls boss John Kear.

A product of the Bradford Bulls Academy, Race flourished in 2019 to earn June's Player of the Month award and also collected the under-19s Player of the Year award.
