The Bulls’ academy squad were treated to a pre-Christmas team outing thanks to the club’s fans.

Supporters’ trust Bullbuilder, set up to raise money for youth development, funded a team bonding exercise at the Challenge 4 Change Centre in Manchester.

Head of youth development Paul Medley paid tribute to Bullbuilder, saying: “It’s a fantastic place to take the young players and they really benefited by having three hours of team bonding work. The centre is specially designed for a team environment and the players had a great time.

“I’d like to thank Bullbuilder for their continuing support of the young players at the club and without them this trip would not have been possible.”
