Leeds Rhinos have signed utility back Joe Vickery on a one-year contract following a successful trial at Headingley Carnegie.
Opportunity
Rhinos chief executive Gary Hetherington has backed the 23-year-old to grasp his opportunity with both hands.
"He has got a lot of qualities and a real hunger, determination and ambition," Hetherington told the Yorkshire Evening Post.
"We've been impressed with Joe right from day one, with his attitude, his commitment and enthusiasm.
"He has shown a great work ethic. He didn't start playing rugby league until quite late, but he adapted very quickly to the game.
"He has got a lot of talent and has been looking for the right opportunity. That's now been provided and I think he'll fully justify our confidence in him."
