It’s no surprise Leeds prop Tom Holroyd says he’s playing every game like it’s his last.
He’s not some veteran forward, either. The England Knights front-row is still only 22. But after what’s happened to him over the last couple of years, Holroyd’s learned to savour every moment - including the match-winning try in Saturday’s thrilling Super League win against Catalans. Holroyd is ever-present for Rhinos this term yet didn’t play at all with them last season.
He missed four months with a foot injury and when fit again was sent-off following an infamous incident while on dual-registration with Bradford. Holroyd punched three Newcastle players in a matter of seconds and copped a massive ten game ban. But a week before the suspension ended, he tore an elbow ligament in training, ending his campaign completely.
