Michael Knowles will remain at the South Leeds Stadium for 2024. The forward joined the Parksiders on a two-year deal from Dewsbury Rams. Knowles led from the front in 2023 and had a superb season making 17 appearances as the Parksiders went on to finish 2nd in Betfred League 1.
Knowles, 36, has a well-earned reputation for leading by example with, successively, Castleford Tigers, Gateshead Thunder, Barrow Raiders, Sheffield Eagles, Featherstone Rovers and the Rams. Possessing finely honed handling skills, he will play a key role in guiding Hunslet’s youthful pack around the park in the forthcoming Betfred League 1 campaign.
