Bradford release out-of-favour forward with contract cut short to ‘pursue opportunities elsewhere’

Bradford Bulls have released forward Brandon Douglas after mutually cutting his two-year contract short to pursue opportunities elsewhere. The 29-year-old front-rower joined Bradford ahead of the 2026 campaign from Halifax Panthers but made only six first-team appearances across all competitions during the season. His permanent departure from Odsal comes ahead of the 2027 Super League season.

Douglas spent parts of last season on loan at Halifax Panthers and Batley Bulldogs before agreeing to leave the club early. He becomes the tenth player to leave head coach Kurt Haggerty's squad, as Bradford continues a squad overhaul that has already seen nine new additions secured for 2027.
