The Rugby Football League's (RFL) board of directors will meet to decide whether to grant membership to a consortium led by Omar Khan - the new owners of Bradford Bulls.

RFL director of standards and licensing Blake Solly said no major problems are anticipated, but that "all the necessary checks" had to be made before membership could be approved.

Solly said: "[Mr Khan] is aware that we cannot formally grant membership until we have had sight of information which his bankers will supply on Monday or Tuesday (3-4 September)."

A decision on which competition Bradford Bulls will participate in from next season will be made at a later date.
