Debut: Vs Warrington Wolves (A) 16/02/2023
Honours:
Leeds signed outside back Luis Roberts from Leigh Leopards on a two-year contract ahead of the 2023 season.
Leigh-born Roberts made his debut in Super League with Salford in 2020 before joining Swinton Lions in 2021 where he was named Championship Young Player of the Year with ten tries in 18 appearances, despite the Lions relegation. That form prompted a move to his home town club in 2022, however with limited opportunities, he has spent the season at Widnes Vikings on loan.
During his first campaign in blue and amber, Roberts played for the Rhinos first team, Reserves and also got game time on dual registration with Bradford. The back ran out ten times for Rohan Smith, scoring his sole Super League try in defeat to Hull KR at Sewell Group Craven Park, but the Reserves competition saw him cross seven times to finish as the Rhinos' top try scorer.
Having played for Wales at junior levels, he was included in the Wales team for their midseason international against France in 2022, as well as the Rugby League World Cup squad, although he didn't feature in a game.
The Wetherby Whaler is a family owned chain of fish and chip restaurants and takeaways. The business was founded by Phillip and Janine Murphy in Tadcaster in 1969. Originally a traditional fish and chip takeaway serving the local community, it was here that we learnt our trade and developed our skills and knowledge that enabled us to prosper. It was this original experience that enabled us to focus on two guided principles that developed to become the foundation for the ‘whaler experience’. These principles are always using quality haddock without skin and bone, cooked in the crispiest batter with Maris Piper potatoes, and warm friendly service with a smile.
