Leeds Rhinos chief executive Gary Hetherington is optimistic the club will continue to overcome the financial challenges facing the sport after paying a significant six-figure transfer fee to land Salford Red Devils pair Brodie Croft and Andy Ackers.
The Rhinos recently struck the biggest commercial deal in the club's history with local business AMT Auto for the naming rights to Headingley, while main backers Leeds Building Society this week extended their sponsorship until the end of 2026. Leeds have used the financial boost to improve Rohan Smith's squad at a time when clubs are feeling the squeeze. 'All sports clubs, not just in rugby league, are challenged,” said Hetherington. 'It is a challenging environment.
'This year’s performance, coming eighth in Super League, clearly was a disappointment,' added Hetherington. 'The time to reflect on all that is the end of the season and that exercise has been done very thoroughly and has thrown up quite a number of areas that need to improve throughout our operation. “All those areas have been addressed and I am pretty confident we will have a very well-functioning rugby league operation going forward.
