Harry Newman has voiced his desire to realise a childhood dream and earn inclusion in England’s World Cup squad. The Leeds Rhinos starlet made his long-awaited return in the club's defeat to Huddersfield Giants on Friday.
The highly-rated centre was cruelly struck down earlier this season when he aggravated a previous hamstring injury and was forced to undergo surgery. It was another major setback to a player rated as one of the finest talents of his generation but Newman is back after returning to the field on Friday. For a player known to be regarded highly by England boss Shaun Wane, Newman is desperate to represent his country at the World Cup this autumn.
“This is such a big year, leading into a home World Cup, so the injury was tough to take,” the 22-year-old told Rugby League Live. “But for me it was just about staying focused and now I want to get back playing and hopefully make the England squad at the end of the year.
