BULLS can now announce the U19s' fixtures have been released ahead of the 2021 academy season.

After a curtailed 2020 season, Bradford's U19s will now start their season in a huge clash at home to Wigan on Friday, May 14 with a 7:30pm kick off.

They will then end their season away to Wigan on Sunday, September 24 with a 2pm kick off.

Players such as Joe Burton, who featured in the first team's pre-season, will be looking to impress in the academy after an impressive stint in the warm-up game against Swinton.

Meanwhile, due to the players being out of action for almost a whole year, the newly formed U17s has been created to bridge the gap between the U16s and U19s to allow them another year of development.

The U16s will now only have four fixtures this season due to the creation of the U17s, which Bulls say will ensure adequate development time for the players before they take the step into the U19s.

Full fixtures are listed below for the U19s, U17s and U16s.
