Bradford Bulls snap up Championship rival

BRADFORD BULLS have snapped up Sheffield Eagles star Bayley Liu.

The Eagles announced Liu’s departure this morning, with the back-rower leaving after three seasons at Sheffield.

Now the Bulls have acted fast following their release of Keven Appo to snap up Liu.

Appo had his contract terminated by Bradford after being charged with multiple sexual offences.

A Bradford Bulls spokesperson in response to Appo’s sacking said: “Following today’s West Yorkshire Police statement, the Bradford Bulls have cancelled Keven Appo’s playing contract.

“Given the circumstances, the club is duty bound to make no further comment at this stage.

“The search for a suitable, quality replacement is underway.”

Appo only signed a new two-year deal with the Bulls in August of last year following an impressive number of seasons at Odsal.
