Rugby league legend Kevin Sinfield will release a memoir of his life next year, it has been announced. The iconic Leeds Rhinos captain will publish his autobiography, titled The Extra Mile, in May 2023.
Dubbed the 'extraordinary memoir from rugby league's greatest and most inspirational player', Sinfield's book will touch on all aspects of his life from his upbringing to his unforgettable career in the sport. It will also cover and detail his incredible challenges for charity post-playing, aimed at raising money for those impacted by Motor Neurone Disease.
The book's summary, published online on Wednesday, reads: "The Extra Mile is no ordinary sports memoir. But Kevin Sinfield is no ordinary sportsman. A one-club legend of Leeds Rhinos, who has now crossed codes as a defence coach for Leicester Tigers, Kevin Sinfield is a rugby icon. But in recent years has shown heroism of a very different kind through his selfless and extraordinary fundraising for Motor Neurone Disease (MND), the terminal illness that has affected his best mate and former teammate Rob Burrow.
