New Bradford Bulls head coach John Kear has announced he will also continue to coach Wales in 2018.

Kear, who has been in charge of the Dragons since 2014 and led them to the 2017 Rugby League World Cup, was appointed Bulls' new head coach on a three-year deal on Tuesday.

Wales Rugby League announced in a statement that the 63-year-old will also continue to coach Wales next year.

Kear said: "It was a tough World Cup but I feel like we've made a lot of progress since I took over in 2014.

"There is a planned structure to international rugby over the next couple of years and it'll provide us with an opportunity to have a real go.
