Source: www.therhinos.co.ukLeeds Rhinos forward Ian Kirke has committed to a new two year contract with the club and believes he and his team mates are ready to challenge for silverware once again this season.
The Rhinos narrowly lost at Champions Wigan last Friday night and face a massive challenge against high flying Catalan Dragons this Sunday in Perpignan before a back to back clash with Hull FC that culminates in a Challenge Cup Quarter Final at KC Stadium at the end of the month.
Kirke, 30, will remain at Headingley Carnegie until at least the end of the 2013 season. He commented, "I am pleased to have agreed the new deal. It wasn't something that was really weighing on my mind but it means that I can concentrate on my rugby for the next two years and have the security for aspects of my life outside of the game. I feel I have been more consistent this year and the move to the front row is something I am enjoying. The work rate is much higher than the back row and you don't get a rest whilst you are out there. It is a relentless position and hopefully I can develop there over the next two years."
Head Coach Brian McDermott commented, "I am really pleased that Ian has agreed a new contract with the club. He is very consistent in what he delivers for the team on a weekly basis. He has still go many good years ahead of him and I have enjoyed watching his transformation into a prop during this season and I am sure there is more to come from Ian."
Kirke has made 126 appearances for Leeds since making his debut in 2006 after signing from York City Knights. He appeared in all three of the Rhinos Grand Final success between 2007 and 2009 and has scored eight tries in his Rhinos career.

Source: www.therhinos.co.ukLeeds Rhinos Grand Final winner Ian Kirke is set to make his first appearance of the pre-season campaign after being named in the starting line up for Sunday's game at Whitehaven.
Kirke had a minor operation on his ankle in the close season and has not featured so far however he is looking to stake his claim in the game in Cumbria ahead of next Friday's engage Super League opener against Crusaders in Wrexham.
Kirke is one of ten first team squad members included in the side to play at the Recreation Ground with Grand Final winner Ryan Bailey set for a fitness test on Saturday. New Zealand World Cup winner Greg Eastwood could make his debut if his injured wrist is given the all clear by specialists in time although he is rated as doubtful by the coaching staff.
Commenting on his return Kirke said, "I am looking forward to getting some game time under my belt ahead of the start of the new season. The injury has taken a little longer than I first hoped to clear up but I am back 100% now and that is the important thing ahead of a long, hard season. There is lots of competition in my positions so I need to make a good impression on Sunday with the season starting next week. There are lots of players in that situation and that competition for places is ideal for bringing the best out of everyone."
One of the players Kirke is facing competition from is new signing Kyle Amor. The National League Young Player of the Year for last season will come up against his former club for the first time this Sunday after being named in the starting line for the Rhinos. Kirke says that Amor has fitted in well to life at the Champions. "Kyle has been great since he came here. I know he is looking forward to Sunday's game and he will be looking to produce his best form to show that he can play at the top level. He has certainly been doing that in training and I think he will be a big boost to our squad for the new season."
