BRADFORD Bulls have announced that experienced forward Sam Scott has penned a new one-year deal with the club.

The 32-year-old signed prior to the 2022 season but saw it cut short, as a long-term injury ruled him out for the season during the game against Halifax Panthers on Good Friday.

The industrious Scott still managed four appearances and one try, with him crossing the whitewash in the Challenge Cup win at London Broncos.

He is now looking to make up for lost time, after signing a new one-year deal with the club for 2023.

Scott said: “I’m absolutely delighted to sign for another year at Bradford Bulls.

“Last year didn’t go to plan from a personal perspective and I’m looking to right a few wrongs and repay the faith that Mark (Dunning) has shown in me.

“Obviously, I want to make up for lost time.

“I only played a handful of games last year and didn’t show the Bradford fans my best over a whole season, but I’d say in the games I played I had a good dig.

“The club has shown faith in me, offering me another year and I want to show them what I can do consistently over a whole season and really help us climb the league table.

“I’ve played in this division for over eight years now, so I know what it’s all about, that experience is invaluable, and I hope it rubs off on some of the younger lads we have.”

Scott added: “I started training towards the back end of last season but didn’t want to rush back, as I was keen to ensure that I was totally ready for 2023 and had the best possible chance to play consistently.

“Next year is a fresh start, Mark will be putting his own stamp on things as head coach, and we want the fans to stick with us.

“I love playing for this club and we need a big start to bring that feel good factor back around here for the fans.

“It all starts with us, we dictate what happens on the pitch so we need to get that pride back in the shirt and realise what it means to play for this club.

“It’ll then have a knock on effect within the whole club and Bradford in general.”
