KEYES PENS BULLS RETURN FROM 2025
Joe Keyes Signs Two-year Deal With Bradford Bulls
The 28-year-old is a well-known figure among fans of Bradford, as he has played for the team from 2016 to 2019.
The player from Ireland recently had a short period of playing on loan for three games in 2021. So far, he has played a total of 63 matches for the Bulls and has managed to score 476 points.
The midfielder expressed his desire to show gratitude to Eamon O’Carroll for believing in him, noting that he has developed both personally and athletically over the past few years.
"I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone again and meeting some new people. I had a great conversation with Eamon and I'm thrilled to be coming back. It's a really exciting time for me," Keyes shared enthusiastically.
I am grateful for Eamon's belief in me, it feels good to be valued. I have improved as both a person and a player since my last time at the club, so I hope I can show Eamon that his trust in me is well-placed.
I haven't delved too deeply into the club's details, but overall, things seem to be looking really good. The bits I have seen show a positive impact.
"It seems like an exciting opportunity to be involved in, and after talking to Eamon, I am definitely interested in being a part of it."
Bradford manager Eamon O’Carroll is thrilled to have signed Keyes, and he is confident that the player will make a significant impact on the club's growth in the future.
I am thrilled with Joe's performance right now. He is playing exceptionally well and it's clear that he has a strong connection to the club.
"When I had a conversation with him about the club's vision, where we want to go and how we plan to get there, he will have a significant role to play. It's an exciting time for him to join the club and he will definitely bring added quality."
He is an exhilarating player who has consistently been among the top halves in the league for several years. His long history with the club will be an advantage.
I am very impressed by how composed he is when playing, which is important for our team. He possesses strong leadership skills and is highly skilled. He will be a valuable asset to our team.
We have played thirteen games so far, along with some cup matches, but we have only been able to field our top players in two of those games. This has been a weak point for us, so it was crucial for us to bring in some high-quality players to address this issue.
