CEO UPDATE

Following yesterday’s announcement that Nigel Wood OBE is stepping down from his position of Chairman of the club, to undertake a strategic review of the sport on behalf of the RFL clubs and to become Interim Chairman of the RFL, Bradford Bulls CEO Jason Hirst has released the following statement.

“The Bradford Bulls and its’ Board of Directors fully support Nigel’s move as part of the wider, best interests of the sport.

As such, we wish him every success in his new role and thank him wholeheartedly, for his commitment, passion and outstanding contribution to leading our club back to a much better place, these last 5 years.

For me personally, his success in bringing our club back to its’ home city should not and hopefully, will not ever be understated or forgotten.

The remaining Board of Directors will be meeting over the next few days to discuss our next steps in relation to our Chairman’s departure and once any decisions are made, the club will communicate them in an appropriate and timely manner.

In the meantime, it’s business as usual, with our immediate focus being our hugely anticipated Challenge Cup, last 16 tie, away at Salford Red Devils, in front of our loud, proud and loyal army of travelling fans.”

Thank you,

Jason.
