Forward James McDonnell was a shining light for Leeds Rhinos in a miserable 2023 season and the Ireland international has vowed to be even better next year.
Before joining Rhinos last autumn, McDonnell had played only six Betfred Super League games in three years at hometown club Wigan Warriors and spent much of 2022 on loan with then-Championship outfit Leigh Centurions. Signed as a youngster with potential and expected to be a squad man this year, rather than first-choice, the second-rower made his Leeds debut in a win at St Helens in March.
He said: “Despite the ups and downs of this year, I think this has been the best place to really come and experience all that - the highs and lows of a Super League season. I am going to be better 10 fold for that. It’s a lot for me to take on board and learn from.” Rhinos will have a much-changed squad next term, with six signings having been announced so far including 2022 Man of Steel Brodie Croft and McDonnell reckons they are set for a more successful campaign.
