Steve Menzies would be happy to continue his English adventure beyond the current campaign – even if his future lies off the pitch.

Despite being Super League’s oldest player at 36, the advancing years have yet to take their toll and Menzies has still not ruled out a prolonged playing career.

This season was supposed to be his last but his body is refusing to conform to expectations.

“I probably feel better this time than I did last year,” said Menzies. “I had a bit of a niggle last year so it made it harder.

“I’ve just been maintaining it and I feel really good. Age is just a number at this stage.

“I’m really enjoying it so we’ll see how I’m going in two months and see what the club wants to do because they’re only allowed so many overseas players, so we’ll see what they’re looking at.”

And asked if an off-field role would prove equally tempting, he said: “Yeah, maybe,” prompting speculation that Menzies could stay on at Odsal in a coaching capacity.

He added: “The family really loves it over here so we need to look at all aspects and make a decision based on the body and other considerations.

“I always thought I’d enjoy it over here but I’ve really, really enjoyed it! If someone said ‘you can stay for the next 30 years’, I’m not sure I’d want to do that but we do really enjoy it. Everything about it has been great.

“I love my darts too and I’m scared of going home because I don’t know whether they get the Premier League darts on the TV back home. I’d be filthy if I couldn’t get it.”

Menzies is not the only Bradford player in positive mood.

Confidence has soared following last week’s 22-20 win against league leaders Wigan, the Bulls’ revival from 20-0 down reinforcing team unity both on and off the pitch.

“Wigan are probably the in-form team so far in Super League, so to not let any tries in during the second half and come back the way we did shows a bit of a mental game and toughness,” said the Aussie back-rower.

“I didn’t look at the scoreboard once until we scored the second-to-last try when I realised we were four points behind with eight minutes to go. And obviously I looked up after the last one!

“It was a really good team effort all round. Everyone did their jobs as they were supposed to do them and we did the little things right.

“When everyone works together it pays off.”
