Leeds’ Poland-born England international Mikolaj Oledzki will wear a Ukrainian flag on the front of his shirt in Thursday night’s Super League match at Wakefield to raise support for those impacted by the war.
The 23-year-old prop forward was born in Gdansk in Ukraine’s neighbouring country and has been moved by the plight of the refugees caught up in the Russian invasion.
“I think I can speak for all the lads in sending our love and support to the people of Ukraine, along with our thoughts and prayers,” Oledzki told the Rhinos website.
