Bradford hooker Ian Henderson is to leave the Bulls at the end of the season to join the New Zealand Warriors.
The 24-year-old Australian, one of three brothers currently playing in England, is out of contract at the end of the season and has rejected the club's offer of a new deal in order to return to the National Rugby League.

"I have had a tremendous two and a half years at Bradford and I wouldn't have left to play for any other English club," he said.
"For family reasons I wanted to go back to Australia and this opportunity with the Warriors has come at just the right time for me."
Henderson has missed only one match this season and, sharing the hooking duties with Terry Newton, has made 65 appearances for the club since joining them from Parramatta midway through the 2005 season.
Bradford coach Steve McNamara said: "We are very sorry to see Ian go as he has been tremendous for us.
"We would have loved to have kept him for longer but fully understand his decision, which has been made for family reasons."
