Hunslet RLFC are delighted to announce the signing of Leeds Rhinos Academy player Nyle Flynn.

Nyle 19, is a Dewsbury born Prop Forward who signed for the Rhinos in 2012. The former Dewsbury Celtic amateur who can also play in the Second Row, had a spell at Huddersfield Giants before joining Leeds.

Nyle cemented his place in the Rhinos Academy side in 2016 making a number of solid appearances for the club as they reached the Under 19โ€™s Academy semi final where they eventually lost to Wigan Warriors.

Director of Rugby Darren Williams said โ€œNyle has had a very consistent season with the Rhinos 19โ€™s. Heโ€™s played a lot of minutes for a middle unit and all the feedback weโ€™ve had on him is that heโ€™s a great kid with a superb attitude who just wants to continue to learn and improve.

โ€œ2017 is going to be a big season for him in terms of his development as he will be competing against some seasoned performers.

โ€œHeโ€™s just the type of player we are looking to bring to the club, he ticks all the boxes, he has good attributes and has age on his side to develop under James and Steve.โ€

Nyle commented โ€œI am really pleased to have signed for Hunslet. Iโ€™m looking forward to getting a good pre-season under my belt, so I am ready for a big season ahead.

โ€œIt will be an exciting new challenge for me stepping up from the academy to play first team rugby, but Iโ€™m hoping for a good season and getting plenty of game time for the club.โ€
