News Update #28

5/6/2019

Here is an unusual mid-week update, just in case you haven’t heard that Leeds Rhinos will be entering the Vitality Netball Superleague in 2021!

This is amazing news for the game, for women’s sport, for Rhinos as a Club, for the city and for the Region. As you know, there are quite a few of us at Leeds Athletic who are heavily involved in Rhinos, so this is a great day for us!

It is brilliant for us as a Club, and it will challenge us as a club, our athletes and our coaches. It will inform our next phase of development to be more ambitious. It will being opportunity and challenge to our players, as hopefully more clubs in Yorkshire will likewise step up their ambition!

Visit the Rhinos website, sign up for the email updates to that you can be a part of Destination Superleague!
