Bradford Bulls man banned following Grade D charge

BRADFORD BULLS forward John Davies has been banned for two games following a Grade D Head Contact charge in the aftermath of the club’s 21-12 win over Swinton Lions in the latest round of the AB Sundecks 1895 Cup.

Davies, who moved to Odsal after eight years at Championship rivals Featherstone Rovers, was slapped with the charge by the Disciplinary Match Review Panel this afternoon.

As well as the two-match ban, Davies has also been fined £125 with no other charges arising from the 1895 Cup round last weekend.

Though the Bulls can use this Friday’s reserves game against Hull FC as one of the games for Davies to serve, the 33-year-old will miss Bradford’s first fixture of the 2024 Championship season away at Wakefield Trinity next weekend.
