66: Kurt Haggerty Leeds Rhinos Focus

Alfie Leake will become the 174th homegrown player to make his Super League debut of the summer era, that has come through the Bradford Bulls academy system if he makes his Super League debut against the Leeds Rhinos on Sunday. Kurt Haggerty says that his version of the Bradford Bulls prefers to develop homegrown youth and rely on internal choices rather than depend heavily on the loan market, as the club has done previously. Kurt compares this approach to the club’s strong identity and long-term development of its homegrown players, believing that exposure at Super League level will help them develop and prepare for more games next season.
