New Bradford Bulls signings Heath L'Estrange and Brett Kearney have been granted UK visas.

Both can now enter the country and will arrive at Odsal within the next two weeks for pre-season training.

Fellow new signing, Australia Glenn Hall, hopes to gain his work permit within the next seven days.

Bulls football manager Stuart Duffy, said: "It's a major boost to us and our supporters to know that Brett and Heath have had their visas approved."

Duffy added: "We never had any reason to suspect they would not be and they will be here on schedule for pre-season training.

"We have spoken to the high commission in Canberra regarding Glenn Hall, who reapplied due to changes in his family circumstances and we expect his visa will be approved later this week or early next."
