“The Bradford Bulls Foundation has longstanding relationships with all of our community clubs and we endeavour to support them in any way we can to ensure rugby league talent is nurtured across the district from primary school age upwards.   

“As we come out of Covid restrictions, working closely with the Bulls, in particular the Academy, we will look to grow our activities, including the already successful England Talent Pathway programme, delivery of rugby league activities in schools and at clubs through Sky Try, and the always popular festivals of rugby league and community challenge cup competition.  

“Building on our Bulls Connections initiative we will continue to maintain constructive dialogue with the clubs, through visits such as those undertaken recently and at other forums, for the good of the sport throughout Bradford.”

Jason Hirst added:- "The Bradford Bulls look forward to working collaboratively and more closely with Keighley Albion to help further strengthen a great Community Club. 

John Tetley, Keighley Albion Chairman, said: "It was great to see Jason and his Bradford Bulls colleagues at the club and refreshing to hear of their plans and continued support. We are excited to see the club's relationship develop further moving forward."

After the latest round of visits to local Community Clubs, Jason Hirst commented: "It has been a real pleasure to visit all these great Community Clubs and actively listen to the challenges and opportunities they face. These clubs and particularly their junior sections, are the future of Bradford Bulls and Rugby League in general so it is great to hear that participant numbers are increasing here in Bradford. I look forward to visiting more Community Clubs in the near future.
