Queensbury product Leon Pryce has capped a great start to his career with Bradford Bulls by gaining selection for the Great Britain Academy squad to face France Under-21s later this month.
Pryce, 16, only arrived at Odsal midway through the season and made his professional debut in the final Super League clash with Salford.
Odsal colleagues Paul Deacon and Stuart Fielden are also named in the party along with Lee Radford, who joins Bulls from Hull next season. The French clash is the curtain-raiser to Great Britain's first Test against New Zealand at Huddersfield's McAlpine Stadium on Saturday, October 31.
