Things might not be going well on the field for Leeds Rhinos right now, but things are going just swimmingly off it for their forward Alex Mellor. The back-rower proposed to his long-term partner, Abbie Sherlock, on Saturday night, and she agreed.
27-year-old Mellor has spent five years with Sherlock and got down on one knee at popular Leeds restaurant Blackhouse - The Grill on the Square, this Saturday. He confirmed the news on social media on Sunday morning with pictures and a video of the moment.
Posting on Instagram, he said: "I’m still not sure if she actually managed to say the word ‘yes’ due to pure shock but it’s looking like I have a wife to be."
