Glenn Hall’s brief Super League career has ended after he today agreed to an early termination of his Bulls contract.

The Australian forward will leave Odsal after completing just 12 months of the three-season deal agreed when he made the switch from Manly Sea Eagles.

It is believed the Bulls will pay a settlement fee as part of the arrangement with Hall, who has not yet found a new club but will return Down Under to be with his pregnant wife Kylie.

“We have agreed for various reasons that it’s best to go our separate ways,” said Bulls chairman Peter Hood. “Glenn has at all times proved himself a model professional and we wish him every success in the future.”

Signed by former boss Steve McNamara, Hall arrived at Odsal last season alongside fellow Manly team-mates Heath L’Estrange and Matt Orford.

But while L’Estrange proved an overwhelming success, winning the prestigious supporters’ player of the year award, both Hall and Orford appeared to have trouble settling in England.

Despite being a popular figure in the dressing room, Hall was unable to find any kind of consistent form and found himself dropped to the reserves for late season games against St Helens and Wakefield.

The bubbly 29-year-old arrived at Bradford having played a key role in Manly’s 2008 NRL Grand Final triumph and the following year’s World Club Challenge victory against Leeds Rhinos.

But he suffered personal tragedy just months before the move when wife Kylie suffered complications in pregnancy resulting in the stillbirth of their first child Lachlan Mark.

Hall’s departure frees up an overseas quota spot, allowing the Bulls to finally register import signing Marc Herbert, who signed in November.

As a result, their hand is strengthened in negotiations over Orford’s exit, as there is no longer a pressing need to remove the wantaway scrum half from the books in order to accomodate Herbert on the quota.

Last month, Orford appointed leading English sports lawyer Richard Cramer to act on his behalf but negotiations remain at a delicate stage with his current club continuing to play hardball.

Bradford are keen to receive compensation in exchange for terminating the final two years of Orford’s contract but may be forced to let him leave for nothing. Whatever the outcome, the 32-year-old former Dally M medallist will not return to Super League, with Canberra his most likely destination.

A conclusion to the saga would leave the Bulls with an extra quota spot, which could be used in their ongoing search for further recruits at half-back.
