When Bradford F.C. converted from the rugby union code to the rugby league code on Tuesday 27 August 1895, Tom Tetley would have been approximately 39. Consequently, he would have probably been too old to have been both a rugby union and rugby league footballer for Bradford F.C. Genealogical information.
