Leeds Rhinos youngster Levi Edwards has left the club on a permanent basis to join Championship side York Knights. Edwards returns to the club where he spent the 2022 season on loan, after agreeing a three-year deal with the ambitious Knights.
He has been part of the setup at the Rhinos since the age of 16, and scored four tries in 11 appearances for the Knights last season. Edwards has also spent time out on loan at fellow Championship side Batley, but with his opportunities limited at Headingley this season, Edwards has been granted a release to take up a permanent contract elsewhere.
The 19-year-old was included in the England Knights squad as recently as 2021, and he insists the decision to leave the Rhinos and move across Yorkshire was a straightforward one.
