Mick Potter has left his position as coach of Bradford Bulls after seven years at the club.

The 48-year-old has chosen not to take up an offer of a new contract at the Yorkshire club and he has revealed that the time is right to return to his native Australia.

Potter said: "I was always going to return to Australia and I feel that now is the right time to go.

"I have enjoyed my time in charge of the Bulls and the supporters and the people at the club are second to none."

Bradford are currently ninth in the Super League table.
