'A great fit': Bradford Bulls reward Connor Wynne with new deal

The 25-year-old earned a contract for 2027 thanks to his standout performances in an injury-hit team.

Wynne, who returned to Odsal for a second spell in the off-season, has scored five tries in nine games to cement his place in Haggerty's side.

The retention is the latest step in Bradford's planning for next season after captain Joe Mellor recently extended his stay.

"Connor has been on a really tough journey with us," said Haggerty.

"He came in pre-season and put the hard work in, really knuckled down. His contract is a reward for his pre-season and start to the season.

"Retention is key. You've got to get the right people around the environment, the right people to take on the journey – not just on the field but off the field as well.

"It's great to get Connor over the line, who is still at a great age and is extremely coachable and hardworking. He is a great fit for the club."

The former Hull FC and Featherstone Rovers outside back is ready to kick on after finding a new home at Odsal.

"It's a really good feeling to have signed again," he said.

"I feel like I have had a good start but I want to push on even more now. There's plenty more from me to come.

"I'm really happy here. I was having a little chat with Nobby (Brian Noble) the other day about happiness. When you're at your happiest, you're playing well so to be able to sign here again has made me even happier.

"We shocked a few people early on and are getting talked about now. We like that but need to get them wins under our belt again.

"For next year, it will obviously be another year together as a group. It can bring something more special than what we already have."
