Jack Mallinson has returned to the South Leeds Stadium on a 12-month deal. The scrum-half, 21, has joined the Parksiders after a stint in Australia and ended last season at Workington Town.
He brings local pride to the cause as a student at Leeds Beckett University who went through the ever-productive conveyor belts that are Stanningley and East Leeds prior to signing at Leeds Rhinos Academy.
Mallinson, who hails from Harrogate, first played rugby union at Wharfedale before embracing the sport that had captivated him as a spectator.
