Eamon O'Carroll is on Bradford Bulls' final shortlist for the vacant head coach position, Rugby League Live understands. The Bulls are understood to have whittled down their shortlist to just a few candidates and the 36-year-old is believed to be one of those people being considered.
Bradford are expected to make a decision and announcement on the coaching front this week. Their recruitment process has been ongoing since Mark Dunning left the club over a month ago. Candidates have been kept tight-lipped but O'Carroll has now emerged as one of the final candidates still in contention.
The 36-year-old was previously head coach of Newcastle Thunder but left midway through last season to take on a role at Catalans Dragons. He had previously acted as an assistant coach to Steve McNamara before taking the job with Newcastle. As a player, O'Carroll played for Ireland and domestically played for Wigan Warriors, Hull FC and Widnes Vikings, making over 150 career appearances before retiring in 2017.
