The deadline for Bradford Bulls to come out of administration has been extended.

Initially the Bulls' administrator Brendan Guilfoyle had until today to find prospective new buyers for the Super League club.

However, following revelations that six locally-based Asian businessmen were considering submitting a bid, the club have been granted until Friday, July 27 to push through a sale.

The extension is subject to the Rugby Football League paying the squad's wages by Friday of this week.
