Evans: leaving Bradford

Unfortunately, salary cap and the new non-federation trained rules have meant we have not been able to keep him at the Grattan Stadium but it goes without saying that everyone at the Bulls wishes him every success for the future.

James Evans will leave Bradford Bulls at the end of the season.

The Australian centre, 29, is being released after two years at Grattan Odsal and is believed to be heading to Castleford.

Evans, who joined the Bulls from Huddersfield after a loan spell at Wakefield, has scored 22 tries in 52 appearances for the club.

"James has been fantastic for us over the past two years, both on and off the field, and I'd like to thank him for his outstanding contribution to the club," said Bradford coach Steve McNamara.

David Ferguson says...

Jimmy is a quality centre who always grafts hard, he will be missed at Odsal and will definitely an asset to the Tigers. Im just wondering who might be penciled in to replace him? Can anyone shed any light on Moi Moi, is he coming to Odsal? All the best Jimmy
