Bradford Bulls 'considering legal position' after shock departure of prop Franklin Pele
The team has a statement this afternoon
Bradford Bulls says the club is "considering its legal position" after the shock departure of prop Franklin Pele.
The 24 year old New Zealander has reportedly walked away from his current deal at the Championship club to sign for a rugby union team in France.
He's recently spent time out injured, but has regularly featured in Bulls' first team since signing in 2024.
A club spokesperson said: “No Bradford Bulls player, nor individual ever has been or ever will be bigger than the club itself. Any contracted player must fully be committed to representing the club, its’ badge and its’ supporters.
"Franklin Pele has, therefore, played his last match for our club. "
The club is considering its’ legal position and will be making no further comment at this stage, as we focus fully on a huge on-field week for the club, its’ players and fans.”
