Bird Denied Entry Visa

Bradford Bulls have today announced that Australian Greg Bird has been refused an entry clearance visa.

Bird was due to link up with the Bulls later this month but will now wait until after his trial in April.

Bird’s Manager Chris Orr, today released the following statement:

“Greg Bird will have to wait until his day in court to prove his innocence and get back his life.

Today he has had to endure more heartache as his application to secure a visa to take up his contract with the Bradford Bulls was denied due to facing a police charge. Rather than fight this decision through the appeals process, Greg has decided to have his day in court and prove his innocence before reapplying.

Bradford Bulls will support Greg throughout this period with a view of him joining them as soon as he has cleared his name.

Neither Greg nor Bradford Bulls will be making any further comment until after the court case on April 27th.”
