Jarrod O’Connor admits his father’s success in Super League is fuelling his long-term desire to become an 80-minute loose forward at Leeds Rhinos.
Dad Terry, the former Great Britain prop, enjoyed a long career in the game with Salford, Wigan and Widnes and now works as part of Sky Sports’ commentary team on their Super League coverage.
Leeds star O’Connor progressed into the youth ranks at Widnes before the Vikings went into administration and sold him and team-mate Sam Walters to the Rhinos at the start of the 2019 season.
