Bradford Bulls have appointed Kurt Haggerty as their new head coach for next season.
Haggerty, who has signed a three-year deal, had been due to step up from his role as Salford Red Devils assistant coach to head coach at the end of the campaign, but left the stricken Super League outfit earlier this month.
The 36-year-old will replace veteran Brian Noble, who has led Bradford to a third-placed finish in the Championship this season.
“It’s an extremely exciting challenge, it is almost like a new era for the Bulls and I am very glad to have the opportunity to run the programme moving forward,” he told the club website., external
