Leeds Rhinos bidding to retain Super League with new recruits

On signing for the club, Ferres highlighted his delight at becoming a Rhinos player: “I would like to thank Gary Hetherington and Brian McDermott for making this move possible,” he said.

“The Rhinos are a fantastic organisation and I am looking forward to being part of the squad next season.

“The last year has seen plenty of ups and downs for me however this move gives me an opportunity to finally look forward to the future with confidence and be part of something special here at the Rhinos.”

Young Rhinos can continue to impress

Last campaign saw the emergence of a number of players from the youth team who took to first team duties like seasoned professionals.

Winger Ash Handley stormed onto the scene, becoming a regular source of tries, while Josh Walters and Jordan Lilley are both promising players.

It is highly anticipated that the remaining ‘old guard’, Danny McGuire and Rob Burrow could both announce their retirement soon, though in Kallum Watkins, Ryan Hall, Adam Cuthbertson, Zak Hardaker and Joel Moon, the Rhinos have more than enough to fill the void, with Challenge Cup final hero Tom Briscoe also a prodigious prospect.
