Bradford Bulls have handed teenage prop forward Steve Crossley a new two-year full-time contract.

The deal will keep the 18-year-old at the Grattan Stadium until the end of the 2010 season.

Crossley has been with the Bulls for three seasons and was the coaches' player of the year this season.

"We're delighted that Steve has agreed this new contract with the club. He has a tremendous future in the game," said Bulls head coach Steve McNamara.

Crossley was selected for the recent England Academy Tour to Australia where he took the Player of the Tour Award.

McNamara added: "He has made great progress since he came to the Bulls.

"He was outstanding on the Academy Tour to Australia and throughout the season in our Academy side."
