MICHAEL Lawrence has been confirmed as the new Bulls captain.

Mark Dunning has publicly revealed his choice to lead the club into the 2023 Championship campaign.

And, unsurprisingly, he has plumped for the vastly-experienced former Huddersfield Giants stalwart to succeed Steve Crossley.

Fellow new recruit Bodene Thompson will add his Super League know-how as vice-captain.

The five-man leadership group in the changing room will comprise of those two, Jordan Lilley, George Flanagan and Jack Walker.

There could be news of a further signing as Dunning continues his revamp in the squad.

He said: "There are some things in the pipeline that are hopefully coming. There are a lot of things still going on.”
