Biography
Bull was born in Bury, England,[2] educated at Holy Cross College and studied at Loughborough University.[3]
He was part of the silver medal winning England team that competed at the 2010 Men's Hockey Champions Trophy in Mönchengladbach, Germany.[4]
After several years playing on the continent in Belgium and the Netherlands, he signed for Old Georgians Hockey Club in the Men's England Hockey League for the 2019/20 season. On his return and by virtue of having a Scottish grandmother, Bull was able to switch allegiance to Scotland.[5]
He played for Scotland at the 2019 Men's EuroHockey Championship.[6] In 2022 he was selected to represent Scotland at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England, in the men's tournament.[1][7]
In 2023, Bull announced his retirement from international hockey, although he continued to play for Old Georgians. He had earned 46 caps.[5]
