McShane to join up with Hunslet

Leeds hooker Paul McShane has been dual-registered with Kingstone Press Championship side Hunslet Hawks with immediate effect.

McShane, 23, has made 20 appearances in Super League so far this season and is set to feature for the Hawks in their clash with Leigh this Sunday at South Leeds Stadium.

Commenting on the move, Rhinos head coach Brian McDermott said, “Paul has not been selected for our game this Friday at Wakefield however it is important that he gets some gametime this weekend.

“As we have already seen this season, Jimmy Keinhorst and Brad Singleton made significant steps forward with the game time they had at the Hawks and the encouragement that has given them and it is important, especially at this time of year, that Paul continues to play as we enter a crucial passage of the season.”
