RISING young rugby star Richard Rhodes from Burley-in-Wharfedale has been invited to join the England U-18s Development squad for a week's training at Loughborough University.
A member of the Leeds Carnegie Academy Richard played a few games for Ilkley's Second XV last season and also captained the undefeated Yorkshire U-17s last season in their matches against Lancashire, Cheshire, North Wales and Eastern Counties.
He follows his father Steve and brother Andrew as a player with the Ilkley club.
Ilkley Chairman Richard Scargill mentioned young Richard's achievements at the Ilkley club's annual meeting.
He said: "On behalf of the club I would very much like to congratulate Richard Rhodes on his rugby achievements and his progress demonstrates what can be achieved by our club providing the correct infrastructure at the Mini/Junior level.
"The good news is that Richard will be available for senior team selection at Ilkley Rugby Club next season."
