Leeds have signed England second rower Joe Greenwood on a two-month loan deal from Wigan with immediate effect.
The 26-year-old former St Helens forward is in his second full season with the Warriors after joining them from Australian club Gold Coast Titans but has fallen down the pecking order and has yet to feature for Adrian Lam’s team this season.
The Rhinos have been without first-choice back rowers Stevie Ward and Rhyse Martin because of injury for their last two matches and could give Greenwood his debut against Warrington at Headingley on Friday.

“He is a player with undoubted potential having played in the NRL and for some of the biggest clubs in Super League. I look forward to seeing how he complements our existing squad.”
