BRADFORD Bulls have seen another player depart the club today, with Ant Walker leaving to join their Championship rivals Widnes Vikings.

Walker will be reunited with John Kear, who took charge at the Vikings this summer after leaving his post at Bradford in April.

Kear gave the prop the chance to return to rugby league ahead of the 2021 season, with the 30-year-old having initially retired in 2017 after being diagnosed with a brain condition.

Another team that bonds Walker and Kear is Wales, with the latter selecting the former in his squad for this year's Rugby League World Cup, which gets underway later this month.
