Gareth Raynor yesterday followed Andy Lynch out of Odsal after being axed for a “severe breach of club discipline”.

The controversial former Great Britain wing, 33, is searching for a new club after being thrown out after just one season with the Bulls.

The club refused to be drawn on whether Raynor’s departure is related to his recent court appearance.

Last month he was ordered to sell assets to raise £120,000 to pay for his counterfeit eBay scam – or go back to jail.

The Leeds-born wideman, who spent the bulk of his career with Hull FC before joining the Bulls from Crusaders in 2010, also sold fake printing ink and games software via auction website eBay.

He was jailed for 15 months in May last year, but had impressed sufficiently during his year at Odsal to earn a new contract for next season.

That will not now happen after his latest misdemeanour signalled the end of his Bulls career.

Neither Bradford nor Raynor’s agent were willing to divulge the nature of his latest discrepancy, with both parties sticking to a brief statement issued by the Bulls.

It said: “It is with regret that Bradford Bulls have to announce that, following a severe breach of club discipline, Gareth Raynor has left the club with immediate effect. The club will be making no further comment on this matter.”

Meanwhile, as revealed in yesterday’s T&A, the Bulls have released Lynch from the last year of his contract after agreeing a fee with Hull for his services.

The 31-year-old, who served Bradford with distinction following his arrival from Castleford in 2005, has signed a two-year deal with the Airlie Birds.

Lynch paid tribute to the Bulls for releasing him from his contract early and felt the opportunity was too good to turn down.

He said: “It has been a great honour to be part of this great club and to lead it on the field. I have had some great times and made some friends for life.

“However, after Hull FC made enquiries to Bulls about my availability I think the time is right and will be beneficial to all parties that I take up their offer of a two-year contract.

“I am really grateful to Peter Hood for agreeing to release me. I wish him and Bradford Bulls the best for the future.”

Bulls chairman Peter Hood said: “I should like to recognise Andy’s many years of unstinting service to the club both on and off the field and to wish him well for the future.”
