The Bradford Bulls have announced that assistant coach Lee Greenwood has agreed a new two-year contract, extending his stay at the club until the end of the 2028 season.
Continuity in the coaching ranks
Greenwood, who first joined the Bulls in 2023 as an assistant, stepped up to take an interim head coach role midway through that campaign alongside Brian Noble. He later signed a one-year deal following the club’s promotion to the Betfred Super League, serving as part of Kurt Haggerty’s coaching team alongside Carl Forster.
In a club statement, Greenwood described his decision to stay as a move to make coaching at Bradford his full-time focus after a period away from the sport:
"I am really pleased to be staying, I wanted to be involved in Super League having been here for a few years in the Championship... I will be putting everything into making it work as I have this year."
He emphasised the benefits of being a full-time coach, saying the role has allowed him to devote more time to developing the backs and edge play, preparing for the higher standard of opposition in Super League and working closely with colleagues including Kurt Haggerty, Carl Forster and Tom Colley.
What the deal means for Bradford
- Stability: Keeping Greenwood provides continuity in a coaching group that helped the club secure promotion and compete in Super League.
- Specialist focus: Greenwood’s emphasis on backline and edge work aims to sharpen the Bulls’ attacking and defensive systems.
- Preparation: Full-time coaching time supports detailed analysis and practice ahead of key fixtures, including the club’s scheduled events for the coming season.
The club noted Greenwood is sponsored by NL Sales Growth. He referenced upcoming fixtures and events as areas of focus for the squad as they look to improve their league position after re-establishing themselves in the top flight.
