Brian Noble's passionate rallying cry with Bradford Bulls return confirmed
Brian Noble has outlined how his desire to see Bradford Bulls return to Super League is the main motivator behind his shock return to the club as head coach. As exclusively revealed by Rugby League Live, Noble has returned to the club as head coach, almost 19 years since last holding a role that saw him deliver incredible success.
Three World Club Challenges, three Super League titles and a Challenge Cup in five seasons, Noble cemented himself as one of the Bulls' all-time greats at the beginning of the millennium. The club is in a much different position now; however, Noble has mapped out his ambition to oversee a return to the top table.
In a passionate statement after his appointment was announced, Noble said: “It's both an honour and a privilege to try pass on the information that I think will help the football side of things in that respect, but behind the scenes, it's a very vibrant, very exciting journey to be on. At the moment, I think every department in the club is working really, really hard, and more importantly, with smiles on their faces whilst they're doing it, which makes for a great working environment.
“One of my jobs now is stability around the joint and making sure that we're still progressing. Progression is massively important, and to progress on what we've done, two third placed finishes, has to be a second or a first or a cup competition where we're in the final. It’s just to show more intention for our fans, that we want to get to big occasions and we want to be in the big show, which is clearly Super League."

Noble also issued a rallying call to fans past and present, encouraging everyone associated with the club to show their support next season.
“I'm a Bradfordian, and I walk through the streets of Bradford and I speak to lots and lots and lots of people who were passionate about the club, and talk about the halcyon days of previous years. Well, I think the days are now.
“If you've been a Bulls fan before and you're not there, please consider coming back. If you're a Bradfordian and you're proud of your rugby club, as we all should be, then come and watch, see what we've got to offer and see what we can do.
"I'd really, really like us to add to the Bradford army that was swelling and swelling from last year and it needs to be bigger for lots of reasons, they'll be entertained, and we'll have some good times, as well as the tough times. But that's all about. Being a fan is brilliant.”
