Bradford deny Noble return rumours

Bradford have moved to quash rumours that former coach Brian Noble is set to return to the club.

Noble, who left Odsal for Wigan in April 2006, has been linked with a return to Yorkshire to replace Steve McNamara, who has been under fire from fans this season.

Bulls Chairman Peter Hood said: “Media speculation that Brian Noble is to return to Bradford Bulls as Head Coach is precisely that – rumour and speculation, which I can categorically deny. 

Bradford are currently in 12th place in Super League, but pulled off a fine 34-30 win against St Helens last week – just two weeks after defeating champions Leeds 10-6.

Noble is out of contract at the JJB Stadium at the end of this season with former Warrior Adrian Lam linked with the Wigan Head Coach role.
