Leeds Rhinos supremo Gary Hetherington says Rohan Smith has “already made a good impression” at Headingley as he backed the new head coach to engineer a play-off push.
Smith recently signed a three-and-a-half-year contract that will keep him at Headingley until the end of the 2025 Super League season. The 40-year-old, who joined the Rhinos from Australian side Norths Devils, is the son of former Hull FC and Bradford coach Brian Smith and the nephew of ex-Leeds boss Tony Smith.
He will take charge of his first game in Sunday’s trip to Salford Red Devils as the Rhinos go in search of a third straight win.
