Bradford Bulls are delighted to announce Joe Keyes has penned a new full-time deal to remain with the club until the end of the 2026 season.

The half-back returned for a third spell in the red, amber and black prior to the start of our 2025 campaign, making 24 appearances and scoring six tries.

Keyes joins Jayden Nikorima and Rowan Milnes as options in the halves ahead of our eagerly anticipated return to Betfred Super League next year – with the Ireland international looking forward to the prospect of being back in the top flight.

Joe Keyes, who was sponsored by Stuart Readyhough @ Maclean And Co in 2025 said: 

“I am really excited to have the opportunity to be a part of the next exciting chapter at the Bulls. I’ve enjoyed my time since being back and looking forward to building on that this coming season.”

Bradford Bulls Head Coach Kurt Haggerty said:

“He will be pushing the likes of Jayden Nikorima and Rowan Milnes and Joe is a very competent player in his own right. He's been a very good Championship player, he's tipped his toe in and out of Super League which shows that he has the ability to play Super League.

“There are a lot of parts to Joe’s game that I like and there are a lot of parts to his game that I think I can help him with. He's a really good player to have in our squad.”
