Leeds Rhinos have today (Sunday) announced the death of club legend Rob Burrow, aged 41.
Rhinos said the eight-time Super League Grand Final winner “passed away peacefully at Pinderfield’s Hospital near his home surrounded by his loving family after becoming ill earlier this week”. Burrow was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in December 2019. Burrow played his entire career with Leeds Rhinos, winning every domestic honour as part of the club’s golden generation which dominated rugby league from 2004-2017.
Since then Burrow has inspired two award winning documentaries, wrote a best selling autobiography, hosted an award winning podcast and was awarded a CBE from HRH Prince William at AMT Headingley in January 2023. Along with his friend and former team mate Kevin Sinfield, Burrow has inspired nearly £20 million in fundraising across the UK and Ireland.
