KING KEV EXTENDS HIS STAY

Bradford Bulls are delighted to announce fans’ favourite Keven Appo has put pen-to-paper to extend his stay at the club by a minimum of 12 months!

The PNG powerhouse made his debut against Widnes Vikings in Round Three and quickly became popular amongst Bradford supporters with a series of combative displays – and the club would like to thank the Bradford Bulls Squad Booster Association for their support in securing Kev’s signature.  

A remarkable first year has seen him score 10 tries in 29 appearances, as the Bulls secured third place and a spot in the play-off semi-finals.

‘King Kev’ has hailed the family feel at the club – making it a home from home – insisting it was an easy decision to extend his stay.

“The club is extremely family orientated which is amazing and my family and I have felt that we are part of this big family,” said Appo, who is sponsored by Roy Sunderland. 

“The staff, players and fans have been so supportive which makes us feel like we are not far away from home, even though we are thousands of miles away.

“Choosing to stay was an easy decision for my family and I to make.”

Incoming Bradford Bulls Head Coach Eamon O’Carroll said:

“Kev has been an integral part of what the club has achieved this season. He brings energy, enthusiasm and experience.

“From watching the games this season it’s clear to see that he plays a really important role for the team and has the ability to change the momentum in games.

“His hard work has been rewarded and we are looking forward to welcoming him back in pre-season to start preparations for a big 2024 season.” 

Bradford Bulls’ CEO Jason Hirst said: 

“I’m delighted that we’ve now finally got this particular deal over the line. Although there was a strong desire from the outset, from both player and club, to extend Keven’s contract, it has proven to be a rather complex and time-consuming process. 

“The announcement of this contract extension is testament to the will and patience of both parties and everyone at the club is understandably delighted to have secured the services of an undoubted fans’ favourite.

“Given the security of another contract and a longer pre-season in the UK, than last year, the club’s performance staff are all extremely confident that there is yet more improvement to come from Keven in a Bradford Bulls shirt.

“Finally, on behalf of the club, I’d like to express a heartfelt thanks to Squad Booster for their help in securing this important player retention.”
