Kevin Sinfield has left magical legacy at Leeds Rhinos says Jamie Jones-Buchanan

The pair enjoyed unprecedented success on the field last season with Brian McDermott’s men sealing an historic treble to see off Sinfield in style as he made the switch to Yorkshire Carnegie. There have been plenty of superlatives and similes to describe the glittering career of Sinfield but, for long-time team-mate Jones-Buchanan, the 35-year-old’s influence is like a magical Horcrux. A Horcrux is, of course, a powerful object that contains part of a wizard’s soul in the world of Harry Potter.

And Jones-Buchanan, who has won four Super League titles at Leeds, believes the departing Sinfield has left a part of himself permanently at the Rhinos.
