Leeds Rhinos have unveiled their latest generation of young players.
Thirty seven teenagers have committed to the club’s 2024 scholarship programme, forming what head of youth John Bastian reckons is “one of the most exciting groups I've seen for a number of years”. The cohort is drawn from 11 different Yorkshire community clubs and includes 19 newcomers to the under-15s. Bastian said: “Our talent scouts have done extensive work with the new players coming in.
“The coaches deserve a lot of thanks for the hard work and sacrifices they put into these guys to get them here. I'm really excited to work with every single one of the players over the next few months. “I think they've all got a special different quality and at our end, we need to welcome them into the club, develop them and build those platforms and foundations in order for them to move forward into the academy.
