A former Sunderland youth team player, Kieran Hudson, has made a big move by signing for the rugby league club Leeds Rhinos. This guy missed the whole 2023 season due to an Achilles injury, but now he’s back in action with Leeds Rhinos after playing for Newcastle Thunder and Whitehaven. And get this, he’s not just any player; he’s the grandson of the legendary John Holmes, who holds the record for the most appearances at Leeds Rhinos. The coach, Rohan Smith, is super stoked about having Kieran on board, praising his dedication and hard work. Kieran, who used to be a goalkeeper, is now a prop, and he’s all set to join the team of players at Leeds Rhinos. It’s a dream come true for him, especially since he grew up as a Sunderland fan and played for the Black Cats before making the switch to rugby league. He’s thrilled to be part of the Rhinos, especially because it’s a family thing for him. His grandad, John Holmes, is a big deal at Leeds, and Kieran couldn’t be happier to follow in his footsteps. It’s a heartwarming story, and it’s awesome to see Kieran living out his dream. Welcome to the Rhinos, Kieran!
