Former Head Boy Jack Sinfield will follow in the footsteps of his Dad, Kevin Sinfield OBE, when his shirt is added to the wall of sporting stars on the PE corridor at the new Saddleworth School site at Diggle.

Jack made his rugby league debut for the Leeds Rhinos first team against Toulouse in April 2022 at the tender age of 17, and has gone on to make four further appearances.

Jack was also instrumental in last week's Academy Grand Final victory over St Helens.

Jack presented his team shirt to Mr Gary Melling, and the proud school PE teacher will now ensure this is framed and take its place on the wall of fame.
