It’s given me a sense of purpose and drive that I didn’t have before. I’ve dropped five stone in weight, became the first blind player to kick a conversion in rugby league, was part of the first Leeds PDRL team to win the grand final in 2022, ran my first marathon in 2023, and outside of sport, I was awarded a full scholarship to do my PhD at the University of Bradford which wouldn’t have happened if I wasn’t part of the team. It’s also allowed me to take part in fundraising events for the Rhinos foundation and other charities associated with the club which is something I love doing and will continue to do even when I finish playing.

The lads we have at Leeds are class, we work hard for each other and have developed a tight bond.
