Jack Broadbent's Leeds Rhinos career appears to be finished with a move to Featherstone Rovers for the remainder of the season understood to be in the works. Rugby League Live understands a deal to send the 21-year-old to Leeds' partner club is being discussed which will see the outside back end of the campaign aiding Rovers' push for promotion to Super League.
Broadbent will join Castleford Tigers next season after penning a deal with the West Yorkshire outfit, which has come after a season in which regular game time has been hard to come by. He hasn't featured since Rohan Smith's first game in charge, a defeat to Salford Red Devils, and it is believed he does not feature in the new coach's plans for the remainder of the season.
As a result, Broadbent is set to end the season with Featherstone to maximise his opportunities before heading to the Tigers next season. He follows an almost identical path to Alex Sutcliffe, the current Tigers player who also was sent to Featherstone for the latter parts of last season after agreeing to a deal at the Jungle.
