Bradford Bulls have confirmed that they have turned down an approach from Leeds Rhinos for centre Keith Lulia.

Lulia, who joined the Bulls at the start of the 2012 season, had interest from several clubs during the Bulls Administration period but Leeds followed up with a firm offer which the Bulls have rejected.

Bulls Football Manager Stuart Duffy said today: “Leeds made an approach, through the correct channels, for Keith’s services but we rejected their offer out of hand.

“Keith is happy at the club and has been informed of the Rhinos interest. We have absolutely no intention whatsoever of letting our best players leave and were happy to decline the Rhinos offer.”
