Memory Lane: do you recognise Leeds Rhinos' 2010 academy intake including 2-time Super League champ?

Stevie Ward, signed from Hunslet Warriors, was the most successful of the cohort, helping Rhinos to the Super League title in 2012 and 2017 and winning at Wembley five years after this picture was taken. Ward went on to captain the club, but concussion ended his career two years ago.

Two other of the 2010 signings played for Leeds in Super League. James Duckworth scored one try in two appearances in 2013 and turned out for London Broncos the following year.

Wetherby Bulldogs product Alex Foster played eight games, all as a substitute, in 2013, was a Grand Final try scorer for Castleford Tigers in their defeat by Leeds six years ago. He also featured for London.

Duckworth had spells with Hunslet and Featherstone and later returned to his roots, playing in the community game for East Leeds. Foster was at Newcastle Thunder last year.

The others didn’t break into Leeds’ first team. They were Matty Blake (signed from Drighlington), Ben Finder (Wetherby), Gerry-Lee Pierre (East Leeds), Jack Cooke (Waterhead), Ryan Bradbury (Oldham St Annes), Josh Sunley (Hunslet Warriors) and Marcus Elliott (Hunslet Parkside).
