Leeds Rhinos have confirmed the departure of 11 players from their 2023 academy and reserves squads.
The list includes three players - three-quarter Mackenzie Turner, hooker Bailey Aldridge and half-back Kai Morgan - who had featured in first team pre-season games. Aldridge, who was ever-present for Rhinos’ second-string this year, has joined Oldham on a two-year contract. Turner gained loan experience in Betfred League One with Hunslet, Cornwall and Midlands Hurricanes.
Will Shaw, a former Castleford Tigers academy hooker who signed for Leeds in August last year, is also moving on, along with forwards Tobias Gibson, Zach McSwiney and Tom Stevens, loose-forward Blake Morgan, back-rower Jack Johnson, prop Mark Nelson and outside-back Riley Sunderland. Rhinos had already announced the exit of England academy winger Neil Tchamambe who has joined Hull KR on a two-year deal.
