Rhinos are understood to have handed over separate six-figure fees for the pair in their biggest transfer coup for more than a quarter of a century.
Leeds Rhinos rocked Betfred Super League this week when they splashed the cash to sign star duo Brodie Croft and Andy Ackers from Salford Red Devils.
Here’s the Yorkshire Evening Post’s choice of Leeds’ 20 highest-profile signings from fellow Super League
clubs since the competition began in 1996.
The Great Britain star was the biggest name among nine players signed from cash-strapped Keighley Cougars for a total fee £2 5,000. He enjoyed a fine swansong to his playing career with Leeds before becoming head-coach.
Senior was a hot property when Rhinos splashed out to sign him from Sheffield Eagles late in the 1999 season. He went on to win four Grand Finals and become one of the club’s all-time greats. Photo: Mark Bickerdike
