Last night the latest crop of young players signed for the Bradford Bulls at the annual year 11 professional signings evening at Odsal. The annual BullBuilder young player of the year awards sponsored by GTL Car Spares were also presented. The awards cover not only U16 and U19 players of the year but also an Academic Achievement Award.
BullBuilder chairman Paul Butterworth said: “It’s great to celebrate the achievements of the young players coming through the system and give them something to recognise their efforts. The club has produced some excellent young players and that will continue thanks to our thriving youth set up. BullBuilder will continue to provide its backing and has raised more money than ever this year thanks to members and supporters.”
The winner of the 2017 BullBuilder Academic Achievement Award goes to Lochlan McGill, award presented by Andrew Chalmers. Lochlan is a hooker from Stanningley who is in his 1st year of the scholarship. Head of Youth John Bastian said: “Lochlan has worked so hard to improve his academic standards this year and the staff are delighted with his progress with his BTEC. He’s shown a real resilience in completing his work and should be really proud of his achievement this year.”
The winner of the BullBuilder U16 Player of the Year is Anesu Mudoti , award presented by Jon Hamer and Karl Fairbank. Anesu is a prop from Hunslet Warriors. John Bastian said “Anesu has made significant improvements over the past 2 years. He’s got a wonderful attitude and is always working hard to improve himself which made him stand out in the group. He enjoys work and wants to do well in the game. He’s also done well at his school Temple Moor and is staying on in the 6th form there so will be a part time professional with the Bulls.”
The winner of the BullBuilder U19 Player of the Year is Evan Hodgson, award presented by Jon Hamer and Karl Fairbank . Evan is already familiar to supporters of the first team since he’s already made his debut. A prop or second row from Stanningley John Bastian said “Evan has a good work ethic and rugby brain and still has a lot of improvement in him if he keeps putting in the effort. He just wants to play and will be sure to figure more in the first team as he progresses. He too has completed his BTEC this year and is a deserving winner of the U19 player of the year award.
Thank you for your support, without you none of this would be possible.

Rowan Milnes scored a beauty of a try against Wakefield last year. Just glided passed defenders making it lool effortless. Can't teach that. One to watch out for IMO

Yeah great news that we've got them signed up long term. These lads have really come on. Physically they're starting to fill out too now. Might see one or two get a shot at first team this season too. Think they'll obviously be figuring mainly for the 19s given they're still 2nd years and many won't turn 18 until the new year.

The BullBuilder accounts for 2016/17 have now been audited and sent to BullBuilder members for approval at the AGM on 18th January. We think that many Bulls fans might be interested so here are a few headlines regarding our activities in the year to 31st August 2017.
INCOME - Totalled 22,110 The main sources of income were- Subscriptions from members- 2763 Donations - 2951 Grants received. - 6000 Events - Quiz Night. 1424 - Spring Ball. 3825 - Batley Walk 4415
GRANTS TO THE ACADEMY - Totalled 16555 The main grants included
During that 17 weeks, in addition to our regular member subscription and donations ,we have supplemented income by holding a very successful Race Night, an impromptu (and profitable !) silent auction at the club's Anniversary Dinner and an e bay auction of Bulls shirts kindly donated by John Bastian and his team.
Everything we've done in the past few years has been made possible by the generosity of our members and the incredible participation of both members and non members in our various fund raising activities. Despite all the turmoil of the recent past we still have a thriving Academy.
Our AGM will be held at Tong on the 18th.starting at 7pm. The formal business should be cleared quickly and will be followed by a "tour" of the training facilities conducted by John Bastian and his team. He'll be highlighting some of the equipment provided by BullBuilder. It's not too late to join BullBuilder and sample the delights(?) of our AGM and witness the value that Bulls fans have added to the club's youth structure.

Sounds like an excellent win. Quite a few of those lads have stuck by the club through the upheaval this time last year and were on the end of some spankings last year in their first year of 19s in 2017. All the hard work will begin to pay off now if they keep it up.
