Bradford chief executive Jason Hirst says Super League will be stronger for the return of the three-time champions after it was confirmed that the Bulls will replace crisis-club Salford in next season’s top flight.
Hirst’s club charged up to 10th place in the IMG rankings which are used to determine the 12 clubs who will make up the core of the 2026 competition. The identity of two additional expansion clubs is set to be revealed on Friday.
