New signing Ethan Clark-Wood makes first Leeds Rhinos appearance as hot prospect scores 4 v Hull FC
New overseas signing Ethan Clark-Wood pulled on a Leeds Rhinos jersey for the first time today, but one of the club’s home-produced youngsters stole the show.
Clark-Wood was at centre for Rhinos in a reserves warm-up match against Hull FC at Stanningley. He was one of four members of the 21-man squad for tomorrow’s Betfred Super League game at Salford Red Devils to feature, alongside full-back Alfie Edgell, centre Jack Smith and prop Tom Nicholson-Watton.
Clark-Wood played inside Marcus Qareqare and was involved in several of the teenage winger’s four tries in Leeds’ 46-6 victory. Other try scorers were stand-off Shane Tuohey, Jack Smith, winger Harley Thomas, substitute Lore Jones-Buchanan and scrum-half Harry Smith, who also kicked five goals. Callum Barfield scored Hull’s try, converted by Joe Thompson.
