Zak Hardaker will have no problems winning back over the Leeds Rhinos supporters following his return to Headingley, according to former team-mate Brett Delaney. Hardaker has sealed a short-term deal with the Rhinos until the end of the season following his abrupt departure from Wigan Warriors last week.
The 30-year-old full-back enjoyed plenty of glorious moments in the blue and amber jersey, winning a League Leaders’ Shield, three Super League titles, two Challenges Cups and a World Club Challenge. When Brian McDermott’s men achieved the treble in 2015, Hardaker was crowned the Steve Prescott Man of Steel.
Popular ex-Rhinos forward Delaney told Leeds Live: “Zak going back to Leeds is a great story and he was fantastic when I was there. “He’s an unbelievable talent and had a lot of success at Headingley, so it was unfortunate to see him go.
