Profile

Danny is one of five players in the current side who have emerged from the Rhinos Academy to form the core of the most successful team in the club’s history, winning four engage Super League titles and two World Club Challenges.

This will be his ninth season in the first team and in that time he has earned a reputation as one of the most creative and exciting players in the competition.

In 2009 he only missed three games all season as he spear headed the Rhinos charge for League Leaders and Grand Final glory. He scored 13 tries during the campaign to take his career tally to 163 and take him to eighth in the all time list for Leeds.

Danny signed for the Rhinos from local team East Leeds ARLFC and quickly gained a reputation as one of the most exciting players in British rugby league. It was in the Rhinos Academy that Danny began to show signs of his amazing ability, forming a devastating partnership with Rob Burrow and by 2002 he had earned a place in the Rhinos full time squad.

Danny has appeared for the England Academy, England U21 and England A. Danny was the star of the England Academy tour to New Zealand and Australia during the summer of 2001 and also went to South Africa with England Under 21 at the end of the season.
He has developed from there and played for England A in the 2003 European Nations and tour game against Australia.

In 2008 Danny scored a try for England in their Test game against France and then was part of the England side who competed in the World Cup in Australia and in 2009 he received another call up to the England side for the Four Nations, where he made 2 appearances in the tournament.
