PITTS JOINS AS COMMERCIAL DIRECTOR

Bradford Bulls are delighted to announce that former player Joe Pitts has joined the club in the capacity of Commercial Director.

Joe played for Bradford Northern, before signing for Bramley at age 19 and then Batley at age 22, playing also at West Bowling, Idle and Greengates, overall playing for around 20 years after being introduced to the game by the legend Trevor Foster. 

Outside of the sport he worked for BT for 32 years, with most of that time in a Sales/Business Manager role and secured the largest (at the time) ever outsource contract with a major UK bank worth almost £80M.

Joe sponsored Bradford Bulls in a number of areas and was also CEO of Rochdale Hornets for a period of time in 2009. 

“I am delighted to take on this role with Bradford Bulls, I was very impressed with the passion that the team at the Bulls have and their vision of bringing the Bulls back to Bradford and for proud Bradfordians seeking to make them a successful team once more.”

“If successful we will leave a good legacy and I want to play a major part in that legacy as another proud Bradfordian.”

“I appreciate there will be challenges ahead and to some extent we have ground to recover but hopefully we can begin re-establish the club as a premier and credible business in the city.”

Bulls Chairman Nigel Wood said “We are delighted that Joe has agreed to help the club. He is Bradford through and through, he has enjoyed a long and successful business career and knows the sport of rugby league from the inside.

“It goes without saying that we wish him well in his endeavours in progressing this vital role.”
