Matty Blythe has been named in the Bulls' 19-man squad for Friday's home clash with derby rivals Leeds.

The on-loan Warrington centre has not featured since sustaining an ankle injury in the 22-22 draw at Widnes on March 8.

He then picked up a back problem which he struggled to shake off but is now fully fit and replaces Michael Platt in the only change to last week's squad.

Coach Francis Cummins could opt to put Blythe straight back into the centres and switch Adrian Purtell to the flank.

John Bateman has also been included despite sustaining a wrist injury in Sunday's 32-4 defeat to Warrington at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.

Bulls squad: James Donaldson, Adam Sidlow, Brett Kearney, Manase Manuokafoa, Luke Gale, Elliot Kear, Nick Scruton, John Bateman, Heath L’Estrange, C, Adrian Purtell, Keith Lulia, Elliott Whitehead, Matt Diskin, C, Jarrod Sammut, Danny Addy, Tom Olbison, Chev Walker, Ben Evans, Matty Blythe.
