Bulls ace Jayden vows to cherish Las Vegas return

- BY JOSH MCALLISTER

BRADFORD star Jayden Nikorima admits he is “super pumped” to be heading to Las Vegas in 2027 after the Bulls secured a stunning spot in rugby league’s glitzy American showcase.

And next year's trip will carry extra special meaning for the New Zealand-born ace after he tied the knot in Sin City back in 2023.

The Bulls and Leigh will represent Super League in the gambling mecca as part of the NRL's blockbuster United States showcase, joining Wigan, Warrington, Leeds and Hull KR in taking part in the annual extravaganza.

Bradford players first learned the news via a team group chat from head coach Kurt Haggerty, with the West Yorkshire outfit set to give up a home fixture to take part in the showpiece.

“The group chat was going off, with a few funny GIFs and memes,” said Nikorima.
