Aiton to wear 9 as Leeds announce squad numbers
Leeds have announced their squad numbers ahead of the 2014 season, with new signing Paul Aiton handed the number 9 jersey.
Aiton, 28, joins the Rhinos from Wakefield after recently representing Papua New Guinea at the 2013 World Cup.
Paul McShane, the previous owner of the 9 shirt, is not given a number by head-coach Brian McDermott as he is currently transfer-listed.
Leeds’ other new arrivals, Tom Briscoe and Andy Yates, will wear 20 and 25 respectively, whilst youngsters Liam Sutcliffe (number 21) and Alex Foster (number 24) are rewarded for their impressive efforts last year as they take the shirts vacated by Richard Moore and Liam Hood.
