Hunslet RLFC are delighted to announce that star half-back Lee Gaskell has committed to the Parksiders for the 2026 season.
Gaskell, 34, joined Hunslet back in March and went on to become a pivotal part of the team last season, leading the team around the park from the half-back position with his leadership and direction.
He made an instant impact in the myrtle, flame and white, putting in a massive performance as we gained our first win of the campaign away to Batley. He went onto make 13 appearances, scoring one try.
Lee’s astute kicking game is up there with the best in the league and will be a huge asset once again as the Parksiders look to improve in 2026.
Kyle Trout was delighted to secure his star man for 2026: “The retainment of Lee is massive for the club. To have his experience and ability in the team moving forward this year is very exciting for everyone.
“Lee is someone I am keen to get more hands on in mentoring some of the younger players to really extend some leadership and flare through our group.”
Gaskell commented: “I am very pleased to confirm that I have re-signed with Hunslet for the upcoming season.
“Last year didn’t go the way any of us wanted it to, but I am looking forward to helping the team push on and make improvements this time around.
“With the players we have retained, and the new players Kyle is bringing in, I’m really excited about the year ahead.”
