Bradford Bulls have tied down yet another one of their Championship squad to a full-time deal, with Joe Keyes penning a deal until the end of 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 30-year-old half-back joins Eliot Peposhi, Jamie Gill and Mitch Souter in recommitting his future to the Bulls, ahead of their promotion back to Super League.<\/p>\n
\u2018There are a lot of parts to Joe\u2019s game that I like\u2019<\/p>\n
Keyes rejoined the West Yorkshire outfit for a third spell at the start of the 2025 season, and made 24 appearances for the club. In that time, he also scored six tries and kicked four goals.<\/p>\n
Across his previous two spells at Odsal, he notched a combined 63 appearances and scored 27 tries and 184 goals.<\/p>\n
Commenting on the news, Keyes said: \u201cI am really excited to have the opportunity to be a part of the next exciting chapter at the Bulls<\/a>. I\u2019ve enjoyed my time since being back and looking forward to building on that this coming season.\u201d<\/p>\n Keyes also now features in an ever-growing half-back depth chart for the Bulls, with former Salford Red Devils ace Jayden Nikorima and ex-Castleford Tigers and Hull KR man Rowan Milnes also heading to the club for 2026.<\/p>\n \u201cHe will be pushing the likes of Jayden Nikorima and Rowan Milnes and Joe is a very competent player in his own right,\u201d Bulls head coach, Kurt Haggerty, added.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s been a very good Championship player; he\u2019s dipped his toe in and out of Super League, which shows that he has the ability to play Super League<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are a lot of parts to Joe\u2019s game that I like, and there are a lot of parts to his game that I think I can help him with. He\u2019s a really good player to have in our squad.\u201d<\/p>\n The London-native began his career with the Broncos in 2014, and has since had further spells at London Skolars, Hull KR, York Knights and Halifax Panthers.<\/p>\n He has also won 12 Test caps for Ireland and has represented the men in Green at two World Cups.<\/p>\n SUNDAY\u2019S READS ON LRL<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffb George Williams dropped?
