Leeds Rhinos have created space for a mid-season arrival after fullback Jack Walker completed a loan move to Hull FC. Walker will spend an initial short-term period on loan with the Black and Whites, giving Brett Hodgson's side added choice in their spine after the departure of Josh Reynolds.
But Walker's exit from Headingley gives Rohan Smith the opportunity to strengthen his squad as the race for the Super League play-offs heats up. Leeds are actively looking to make a mid-season signing as early as this week, and now have the capability to do so.
Walker's departure frees up valuable salary cap space to allow Leeds to act in the market, with the prospect of them signing a player before their Magic Weekend derby with Castleford Tigers in Newcastle takes place at the weekend.
