Hunslet enter dual-registration agreement with Bradford Bulls

Hunslet RLFC have entered into a dual-registration agreement for 2017 with Bradford Bulls.

The League 1 club had previous dual-registration agreements in place with Leeds Rhinos & Featherstone Rovers, but officials of both clubs have now agreed a deal for the current campaign.

Chief Executive Martin Flynn said: “Dual-registration is a hot topic of debate.

“We have a strong squad in place under James Coyle and Steve Deakin and although we don’t expect to use dual-registration extensively it gives us the opportunity should we wish to take it to increase our player pool at any particular time.”

Bulls’ Chairman Andrew Chalmers added: “We’re delighted to have entered into this partnership with Hunslet RLFC.

“Used correctly, it can be of great benefit to both parties and we are looking forward to a fruitful relationship with them.”
