Leeds Rhinos rookie Joe Gibbons has joined ambitious Championship outfit Keighley Cougars on a season-long loan.
The son of former Rhinos player David Gibbons, a 21-year-old second-rower, was one of a number of players signed by Leeds from amateur side Wetherby Bulldogs. He had been promoted to the Rhinos’ first team following a highly successful 2022 season in the Reserves where he was one of the team’s top performers.
Playing in nine out of 13 games, he continued his try-scoring record to finish the year with six, including braces in wins over Castleford and Newcastle.
