Leeds Rhinos are set to sign Leigh Centurions youngster Luis Roberts. Rugby League Live understands the outside back, crowned the Championship young player of the year last season, will become the latest lower-league addition at Headingley next season.
Roberts, 20, started his career at Salford Red Devils, making his Super League debut in 2020. He subsequently made the move to Swinton where he was a standout star, averaging a try every other game despite the Lions eventually being relegated from the Championship. Despite that, he was crowned the competition's best young player and his performances earned him a move to hometown club Leigh Centurions ahead of their push for promotion.
He has struggled for game time in his maiden season at LSV, with the Centurions now one game away from promotion to Super League. He has spent time on loan at Widnes Vikings and could feature for Wales in the World Cup next month.
