Leeds Rhinos youngster Kai Morgan has linked up with Halifax Panthers on a short-term loan. The halfback, who played a key role in the Rhinos Academy's Grand Final success last year, is set to feature for his hometown club in their upcoming pre-season fixtures.
Fax play Wakefield Trinity on Sunday followed by a hit-out against Hunslet a week later. The two-week loan will allow the Siddal product to feature in both games and get a taste of senior rugby.
Morgan, 18, made his Academy debut in 2018 and has gone on to feature in the reserves during his development. He made his first-team debut in the Rhinos' pre-season fixture against Bradford Bulls last year, scoring a try in the 30-12 win at Odsal.
