Bradford Bulls release six players mid-season as relegation fight looms

Bradford Bulls have told six players — half-backs Chris Atkin and Joe Keyes, hooker Mitchel Souter, centre Guy Armitage and forwards Sam Hallas and Dan Russell — they will not be retained for 2027. The club called the list "initial," suggesting further exits are possible. Third from bottom after promotion last year, Bradford have seven games to avoid a one-season Super League stay.
