Zak Hardaker and his partner have welcomed the arrival of their second child. The Leeds Rhinos star took to social media on Tuesday to confirm that his partner had given birth to their daughter, Olive Rose.
Hardaker and his partner also have a son, Abel, who was born in December 20, and the England international could not hide his pride at the news of his daughter's arrival into the world.
He said: "Yet another magic date to remember, our beautiful baby girl was born OLIVE ROSE HARDAKER you’ve made life complete. @elishariley25 you absolutely smashed it again Im now a dad of 2 bonkers!

Hardaker made no secret of his desire to move closer to his West Yorkshire home while at Wigan Warriors so he could maximise the time spent with his young family. That ultimately led to him being released by the Warriors earlier this season.
Despite interest from a number of clubs, Hardaker signed with Leeds on a deal until the end of the current Super League season. It is his second stint with the Rhinos, having previously played for the club during their treble-winning season of 2015. He also won the 2012 Grand Final with the club too.
