The Bulls will say a special goodbye to Joe Vagana at what it likely to be his last game at the Grattan Stadium against Hull KR on Monday.

He will lead the side out and a presentation will be made to the player by Bulls chairman Peter Hood, while there will also be a video tribute on the big screen immediately after the game.

Following the presentation, the Bulls players will walk around Odsal behind the speedway fence to sign autographs for supporters while fans can also buy tickets to stand a chance of winning Vagana’s shirt in a special draw.

Bulls media manager Stuart Duffy said: "Joe has been a tremendous servant, not only to the club but also to the city of Bradford itself.

"I am sure everyone who he has met during his time with the club will want to come along and see him for one last time."

Turnstiles will open at 11.45am with the Reserve Grade curtain raiser kicking-off at noon.

There will be a DJ in the Marquee Bar and a classic game on the screens in the bars.

Pre-match entertainment will have a Salsa theme, with Salas dancing and a live band on centre field.

The Super League contest kicks off at 2.15pm as the Bulls bid to cement their play-offs spot.
