Leeds’ penultimate fixture of the regular Championship season takes place tomorrow night with United knowing a win puts increased pressure on Kieran McKenna’s third place Ipswich Town to keep pace with league leaders Leicester City and Farke’s men. The Whites were back to winning ways on Monday night, defeating Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium, but victory came at a cost with Dan James ruled out for the trip to Loftus Road with a costal cartilage injury and torn oblique abdominal muscle....
Hull are also understood to be close to signing former Leeds Rhinos winger Tom Briscoe from the same club, with back Derrell Olpherts going the other way. Briscoe played for Hull from 2008-2013 and then had nine seasons with Leeds before joining Leigh ahead of the 2023 campaign. He is a former Rhinos teammate of Hull’s new director of rugby Richie Myler. Chamberlain, who can operate in the outside-backs and back-row, has also played for Salford Red Devils and London Broncos. The 28-year-old made...
The two-time Grand Final winner, who played for Leeds from 2005-2008, left Hull at the end of last season after spells as a player, football manager, reserve team boss and assistant-coach.

The 42-year-old said: “The last six months has allowed me to have some time away from the game and now I come back with a completely fresh mind. My time working with Rugby...
Leeds United are back in action on Friday night, facing a quick turnaround following Monday night’s big away win over Middlesbrough. The Whites went behind early against Boro but fought back and wound up winning 4-3, moving into the top two, where they hope to stay between now and the end of the season.

A Crysencio Summerville double and goals from Patrick Bamford and Willy Gnonto did the job for Leeds, but they made life incredibly difficult for themselves. Boro went ahead when Emmanuel Latte Lath went clean through and though he couldn’t finish, Isaiah Jones was on hand to find the net. Summerville’s penalty and Bamford bundling in a Junior Firpo cross swung the game Leeds’ way, before Lath equalised from outside the area. Gnonto scored from a clearly offside position to put Leeds back in...

James sustained the injury during the second half of Leeds’ 4-3 win over Middlesbrough on Monday night and received treatment on the pitch at full-time having struggled through the final few minutes clutching his side. A scan revealed the Welsh international has suffered a costal cartilage injury and oblique abdominal muscle tear which will keep him out of contention for this weekend’s trip to QPR at the very least. Given there could be just one more Championship fixture to play this season, if...
