Mick Potter has named Heath L’Estrange and Matt Diskin as joint captains of the Bulls ahead of the 2012 Super League campaign.
The hookers will share responsibility for the position of skipper following the departure of previous incumbent Andy Lynch to Hull FC at the end of last season.
Both L’Estrange and Diskin are universally respected at Odsal and Potter believes the pair will dovetail effectively in the role, just as they share No 9 duties.
The Bulls coach said: “Matt Diskin is a very influential player and highly respected here at Bradford Bulls and throughout the game in general.
“Heath L’Estrange has an infectious enthusiasm for rugby league to match his natural talent and both he and Matt have a very positive impact on the side.
“Appointing them as joint captains will allow them to bring their leadership skills to the fore in a way that can only benefit us."
