BRADFORD Bulls have revealed their squad numbers for 2023, with half-backs Dec Patton and Jordan Lilley retaining the number six and seven shirts respectively.

Interestingly, the expected main rival for their spots in the pivot, Tom Holmes, has been handed the number one jersey, usually more associated with the full-back role.

The man tipped to be Bradford's first-choice half-back in 2023, former Leeds talent Jack Walker, will be number 31, which is what he wore when he broke into the Rhinos' first team in 2017.

The club's newest recruit, Joe Arundel, has been handed the number three shirt, and is expected to be Mark Dunning's starting centre alongside Kieran Gill.

Captain Michael Lawrence has taken over the number 10 shirt after the exit of former skipper Steve Crossley, while vice-captain Bodene Thompson will wear number 13.
