A former Premiership rugby union forward, who was in the England squad five years ago, is training with Leeds Rhinos.

Lewis Boyce, 27, is a graduate of the former Yorkshire Carnegie rugby union academy and played for their senior side from 2014-2017, when they were based at AMT Headingley. He linked up with Rhinos last week, at the start of pre-season. Boyce left Ealing Trailfinders at the end of the 2022-23 campaign and the arrangement allows him to keep fit and gain a taste of rugby league, while also boosting Rhinos’ numbers in the early stages of pre-season.

Rugby league has always appealed to him and he is now free to have a go if he wants.” Born in Middlesbrough and a former pupil at Prince Henry’s Grammar School in Otley, Boyce joined Harlequins six years ago, moved to Bath in 2019 and joined Ealing on a short-term deal in April, 2023. The loosehead-prop won the under-20 World Cup with England in 2016 and was called into the full squad ahead of the 2018 Six Nations, though he did not earn a senior cap.
