\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Super\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Leeds Rhinos have confirmed a loan signing just one week before the transfer deadline, and it comes in the shape of another Salford Red Devils player.<\/p>\n

Joe Shorrocks, who has been widely reported to join Brad Arthur\u2019s side<\/a> this year, has now had his move to AMT Headingley confirmed, in what is now the 15th departure from Salford this season.<\/p>\n

Leeds have already benefitted from Salford\u2019s downfall this year, after bringing back club legend Kallum Watkins in April, before signing Chris Hankinson last month.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils released the following statement<\/a> confirming his departure:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can confirm Joe Shorrocks has joined Leeds Rhinos on loan until the end of 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 25-year-old signed for the Reds from Wigan Warriors in November 2023 after bursting onto the scene as a hard-working, industrious forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cAcross his time at the club, Shorrocks has made 44 appearances, scoring twice and becoming a versatile asset for Paul Rowley\u2019s side.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone at the Club would like to thank Shoz for his efforts in a red shirt and wish him the best for the rest of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shorrocks excited to sign for Leeds Rhinos<\/p>\n

Shorrocks has commented on his signing<\/a>, admitting it will be good to re-unite with his former teammates:<\/p>\n

He said to the club website: \u201cI am delighted to be able to get the deal over the line and finally be in with all the boys. I had some positive meetings this morning with the coaches and I know what they want from me and I\u2019ve said to them what I can offer to the squad.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s nice to see Kallum and Chris after not seeing them for a few weeks or months, and myself and James McDonnell came through the scholarship and Academy at Wigan, so it\u2019s nice to be back playing with them all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leeds Rhinos face Hull KR this week, in arguably the clash of the round. A win for Leeds will put them level on points with second placed Wigan Warriors, who face Wakefield on Sunday.<\/p>\n
