Leeds centre Harry Newman has extra inspiration to perform, after brother Ed was denied his own sporting dreams.
There was a beaming smile on Ed Newman's face as he watched Manchester United stun rivals Manchester City at Wembley to win the men's FA Cup final last weekend.
"When I was 14, 15 years old, there was something not sitting right with me. I came to this club around then and I was struggling with things. I had always been great in school but now I was getting into trouble and doing things that weren't really me." "Having grown up with my brother, we played football and rugby and all the sports you do together and to have that stripped away and not know whether he was going to make it through is pretty tough to deal with when you're 11," Harry, now 24, said.
"He was very, very good at sport," Harry said. "He was involved with Leeds United and Huddersfield Town growing up. So to watch him support me, I admire him for what he's been through and I love him to pieces. He made his England debut in 2023 and has become one of the Super League's most marketable talents - young, pacy, skilful and full of drive.
