Leeds Rhinos legend Rob Burrow has died at the age of 41 following a battle with motor neurone disease, the club has confirmed.

Burrow spent his entire rugby league career with Leeds Rhinos and helped them win eight Super League titles. He retired in 2017 but two years later it was revealed Burrow had been diagnosed with MND and, after he raised millions to help build a new care centre for MND patients alongside former team-mate Kevin Sinfield, his death was confirmed by his former club on Sunday evening.

“Rob has always been a true inspiration throughout his life whether that was on the rugby league field or during his battle with MND . “He never allowed others to define what he could achieve and believed in his own ability to do more. “The outpouring of love and support that Rob and the whole Burrow family have received over the last four and a half years meant so much to Rob.
