NOAH GASCOIGNE APPOINTED WOMEN'S HEAD COACH

Bradford Bulls are delighted to announce the appointment of Noah Gascoigne as Head Coach of our Women’s team for the 2026 season.

Noah took to the reins as Interim Head Coach midway through the 2025 campaign – with improved performances resulting in a superb season ending victory against Castleford. 

After an encouraging month of trials in October, Gascoigne is now building a side which will display a “high effort, first team brand” of rugby league – with an increased focus on community interaction. 

Noah Gascoigne said: 

“I will start by acknowledging what a tremendous privilege it is to represent the Bulls, to be appointed to such an important role in this prestigious club is a great honour. 

“My vision for the Bulls Women’s programme is to build a sustainable club in the long term, a team that reflects the values of the Bulls, our fans and the City of Bradford and a community influence that helps inspire and create the next generation of Women’s rugby league talent.  

“In aid of this goal our first action has been to form a talented, multi-disciplinary staff team whose expertise and ambition will drive a higher standard than ever before. We have also recruited the finest young talent from across West Yorkshire and beyond to add to our already promising squad.  

“Bulls fans can expect to see a high effort, team-first brand of rugby league, a fresh approach to community interaction and plenty of stars on show at Bartercard Odsal in 2026. This isn't just about next season, we are building towards one very clear long-term goal - to return Bulls Women to Super League.  

Head of Women’s and Girls Rugby Rebecca Ball-Knight said:

“We are delighted to appoint Noah as our Head Coach for the 2026 season following a successful interim period in charge. 

“It was evident Noah galvanised the squad and its younger players, leading to improved performances and it was fantastic to see the efforts of all rewarded with that late win over Castleford at Bartercard Odsal. 

“It is an incredibly exciting time for the club and we look forward to seeing our Women’s team grow under Noah’s leadership.”
