Leeds Rhinos’ full 2024 squad got together for the first time when they returned to training today (Thursday) after a Christmas/new year break.
Recruit Paul Momirovski met his new teammates less than 24 hours after arriving from Australia. It was also Rhyse Martin’s first day of pre-season, following a spell of leave after international duty with Papua New Guinea last autumn.
Brodie Croft, Rhinos’ high-profile signing from Salford Red Devils, was on a pre-arranged break in Australia over Christmas and missed the Boxing Day defeat of Wakefield Trinity, but is now back at work and several others are in training after recovering from injury.
Yorkshire Evening Post photographer Simon Hulme was invited to Rhinos’ Kirkstall base on Thursday. Here’s 19 pictures of Rhinos’ first training session of 2024.
