Extract from Bulls website article on Lee Smith and pre season:

Bradford’s enlistment has been strong both on and off the field, with the introduction of two experienced physios, Matt Dukes and Aaron Scholes, and a full-time strength and conditioner, Chris Black.

“The guys have set up a partnership with Bradford University to bring in some masseurs to help out at Tong, but bringing in Chris Black is a massive coup for us.

“He was the Leeds head conditioner when they won the treble in 2015. He’s well educated and everyone will be buying into his stuff and there is no doubt in this preseason, we will get where we need to be and start the season on fire.”

The full time appointment of an experienced strength and conditioning coach impresses me.

Yes, I'd go so far as to say that, with Chisholm, are the best signings so far

Well I'm very glad we've got someone with some pedigree. I was expecting him to be full-time, had he been part-time that would've been disappointing.

We're a head coach and a few signings away from me getting a season ticket!

2 new signings to be announced soon but he doesn't know who or what positions

Boxing Day friendly against Halifax, friendly at Dewsbury for Paul Sykes testimonial, possibly friendly against Toronto but not at home

Two forwards and pre-season games against Keighley and St Helens.

With the season not starting until 18th February, they'll be a few pre-season games.

Good to finally have the League One fixtures land this morning ready for next Wednesday.

I thought we might have played St Helens and Sheffield for the Bentley and Chisholm deals?

For the first time in a couple of years we might have more than 2 friendlies! Bring it on!
