History

Foundation

Leeds Rhinos Netball was founded in July 2017 in partnership with the rugby league Super League club Leeds Rhinos and their charity, the Leeds Rhinos Foundation. Anna Newell Carter was subsequently appointed director of netball and Ashton Golding became an ambassador for the team.[1][2][3]

In 2018–19 Leeds Rhinos entered an under-19 team in England Netball's National Performance League, competing against the under-19 teams of Netball Superleague teams. On 15 December 2018 they made their NPL debut with a 54–53 win against Mavericks.[4][5][6] Leeds Rhinos subsequently finished fourth in their inaugural NPL season. They secured fourth place with a 63–55 win over Surrey Storm.[7][8][9]

Netball Superleague

In June 2019 it was announced that Leeds Rhinos would start playing in the Netball Superleague in 2021.[10][11][12][13][14] In August 2019, as part of their preparations for joining the Superleague, Leeds Rhinos appointed Dan Ryan as head coach.[15][16][17][18][19]
