Purtell injury blow for Bulls

Bradford have suffered a blow with the news that new signing Adrian Purtell will be out for six weeks through injury.

Purtell, 27, was found to have torn his pectoral muscle upon visiting a specialist in Manchester earlier in the week.

The close season signing from Penrith Panthers has played in both the Bulls Super League games so far.

Meanwhile, James Donaldson will see a specialist on Monday to discover the extent of the knee injury he suffered in the win over Castleford at the weekend.
