Bradford Bulls have called a Monday morning press conference, where they are expected to unveil Francis Cummins as their new coach.

The former Leeds winger has served as an assistant to Mick Potter at Odsal for the last two years, and was recommended by the Australian to make the step up.

Potter is returning to his home country after the end of a turbulent season in which he worked for free for a large part of it after the club entered administration.

Bradford are now back on a firm financial footing following a takeover led by businessman Omar Khan, but Potter has decided to move on.

Despite their problems and the six-point deduction they incurred as a result, the Bulls almost reached the Super League play -offs

Potter is heavily tipped to be selected as Coach of the Year after his efforts with the club.
