Bradford Bulls assistant coach Lee St Hilaire will remain at the club next season under new coach Mick Potter after signing a new one-year contract.

St Hilaire is in caretaker charge of the Bulls until Potter completes the switch from St Helens.

He said: "I'm very happy to stay at Bradford Bulls and even happier that Mick has okayed our deals.

"The club is going places so I do want to be a part of that. Mick will only continue to take the club forward."

St Hilaire, who joined the club in 2006 after previous spells on the coaching staff at Huddersfield and Wakefield, added: "His [Potter's] track record at Catalans and St Helens speaks for itself and hopefully he can bring that quality here."

Bulls' Head of Physical Performance Geoff Evans has also signed a new-year contract at Odsal.

Bulls Chairman Peter Hood said: "Continuity was a factor but so was the calibre of both individuals and Mick Potter was more than happy to keep them on board.

"One-year deals are appropriate in this situation because, with a new coach coming in, it gives everyone a chance to see how they work together.

"Lee and Geoff work very well together, in tandem with Paul Medley and Stuart Barrow, so we're happy they have committed to the club."
