Bradford Bulls have re-signed former Warrington Wolves utility player Matty Blythe and allowed wingers Elliot Kear and Luke George to leave the club.

Blythe, 25, has signed a new two-year contract and becomes the 14th player to be retained by the relegated Bulls.

"I am over the moon to be staying and, in truth, wanted to stay all along," Blythe is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

"There were offers elsewhere and it came down to a choice of Bradford Bulls or a Super League club but I had no intentions of walking away I love being here and want to achieve something special as a Bradford player.

"The club has done a fantastic job in keeping the bulk of our current squad together for next year, which only made my decision easier."

Coach James Lowes has made six new signings so far, taking his squad number to 20 for the coming season.
